Great bday evening out!

All in all it was a great trip... love the location, close enough to walk to downtown bars and shops but far enough away to still be quiet. The food was wonderful, the rooftop bar was amazing! The beds are really hard and uncomfortable to me though, but otherwise the staff are the best!
