Tips About This Business
Don't miss weeknight happy hour in Roaring Fork Saloon, the hotel's restaurant. It features $1 off cocktails and a can't-be-beat $6 dinner, including a 12-ounce "Big A@s" Burger.
The most pleasant tables are outside, on the wraparound terrace overlooking Congress Avenue.
If you haven't abandoned the cigar fad, you'll find an impressive array of fancy smokeables in an even fancier display case. Don't miss the macho brand names like the "Hemingway Signature," "Prince Philip" and "Bully."

The bar, Stephen F's, is a great spot for lobbying...

the valet drivers were friendly and helpful. Basically I booked with Hotwire at $89.00 for one night after I booked the amount charged was $108.00. Then looking at the hotels website it stated that valet parking was $25.00. Overnight I got a bill under the door for $27.06. While there I did not use room service, anything other than the room. After I got home the hotel charged my credit card...
