Great Hotel! It is immaculate, the staff is friendly and helpful, the shuttle driver couldn't have been more accomodating. It is not a gambling hotel, so it is quiet. The bedding and pillows were very comfortable, and we ate at a great and inexpensive Tapas place nearby that the staff recommended. The Blackstone used to be a Holiday Inn, but it is privately owned now, and pride of ownership shows in how the staff is managed and the maintenence. I did not have a great view from my window, but I really didn't care all that much. The only thing I would ask them to change is to offer decaf in the coffee shop at breakfast.
