We stayed with our newborn and found it very easy going and the staff were really sweet and accommodating. Loved the King Studio room! It was spacious and felt luxurious with lots of design touches. I wouldn't say it was particularly quiet with loud music from the bars and sirens on a Saturday night, but didn't bother us. The restaurant food and service was great, but would suggest they lower the lights for more ambiance?
