The Bellevue Hotel - The Unbound Collection by Hyatt
Beautiful property, excellent customer service, perfect location in the center of downtown. The only minor issue is that the elevator was slow, particularly when we have a large number of guests due to a wedding.

Lovely staff. Mold on ceiling. Towel shortage. No iron available. Very bare bones. Not a great experience.
