"Downtown luxury without a massive price tag!"
Overall score4.0/ 5
The Paramount is a great value for tourists looking to stay downtown, in a relatively luxurious room, without paying a massive price. This property is elegant without being over-the-top. The lobby greats you with high ceilings, chandelier details, and comfortable seating. The sleeping rooms are especially spacious (400-450 square feet) with current interiors and impressively opulent bathrooms. The hotel does not offer many amenities (besides their on-site Asian Fusion restaurant) but with their great location, nothing else is really needed that cannot be found a short walk away. In conclusion, this is a good option for nearly any group - lovely while still being kid, family, and budget friendly. If you intend to host an event or otherwise spend a lot of time in your hotel, there are better options downtown... but if all you want is a lot of in-room space and luxury, while enjoying a prime tourism location at a surprisingly low price, this is a good hotel for you.
