Have stayed here a few times. The first time was over a year ago, and the service was impeccable. Subsequent visits were very nice, though not quite as perfect. The rooms are all very nice with the standard TV, phone, radio, etc. They give you a mint at night, and the restaurant in the hotel is superb. The Kensington area is a really walkable area, which is nice for someone who is new in town. They give you breakfast in the AM and coffee or tea in the AM. Also, it's very close to downtown - just a walk across Memorial. Definitely a nice place to stay just outside of downtown but giving you the option to go there.
