I stayed at the Burnham during the choco do weekend. The rate was much higher than the hyatt regency, but I wanted a change. The hotel was nice, but not so splendid that I would stay again (that property), sort of boutiquey, but at the same time, not with the quiet solitude that one wants in a boutique. The hotel was full of american girl shoppers and bears fans.

They did offer me a gift card for 15 bucks off my next kimpton reservation for using the website, but no real welcome as a guest.

One thing, the restaurant -- Atwood Cafe, could use a new general manager. Sunday morning with people lined up to get in, the staff shouldn't be discussing their Saturday nights and instead bussing tables and getting customers their food.

Other than that, would I stay at another Kimpton property? Probably. I promised taller half a Elliott grand hyatt stay for her bd, but my budget is more like the monaco.
