The Sire Hotel Lexington, Tapestry Collection by Hilton
The room was clean and the hotel was lovely. Good location with plenty of restaurants within walking distance. Breakfast was a plus! Parking fees were the only bummer. Had no choice but to pay given the only other option was to park in the street. This was a consequence of staying downtown.
