my overall experience with this hotel was superb. it's rare to find a hotel that hits the mark on every aspect of the stay, but that was exactly my experience at the varden. the varden is hip and cool without having to act hip and cool. it is genuine, friendly and warm. a modern, well-appointed room with a super-comfy bed...
