Modern Alternative downtown
New (spring 2012) hotel where the insipid embassy suites used to be - minimalist / modern in design with a lot of details in the lobby and the rooms going into design elements. 
My room had a little sitting area at the front with a large flat screen , then a bathroom that really was too small for this category hotel but again very sleek / minimalist. 
Comfortable king bed with a 2nd large flatscreen (and a very good entertainment / room control system of you are into these sorts of things). Everything was quite which I was happy with as many rooms give out onto a large central atrium (think '70s Hyatt) which sometimes leads to noise in the rooms. 
Gym is below par for this category hotel. Had breakfast once which is as expensive as you'd expect
Overall a nice place but I prefer the Ritz Carlton half a mile away which is still contemporary but not as minimalist, has a better bar, gym and is cheaper.
