Amazing check in, the room was exquisite. We stayed in a signature suite. Spotlessly clean. Missed breakfast even though we'd paid so can't comment on the food.

The Dakota is a great place. It's comfortable, well-appointed, with pleasant, helpful staff. It makes a lot more out of its bar than its restaurant, however, which gives a clue as to what sort of clientele the hotel aims for. I found the service in both the restaurant and the bar realllly slow. Other than that, it was a great stay.
