Overall great stay
Stay was wonderful and room was really comfortable. Valet parking and checkout were both really chaotic, but a conference was also finishing around the same time we were leaving.

Our stay at the Emeline was nothing short of pleasant and enjoyable. We were surrounded by great food and all the shopping was within walking distance. The hotel itself was unique and well decorated. The outdoor space was perfect for end of day drinks and conversation. We will definitely be back.
