Pros:

Great location, lobby is beautiful! The rooms are satisfactory for a hotel bed. The showers have great water pressure. And the price was reasonable

Cons:

They don’t have smart TV’s which feels like a small thing but meant we had to pay for better wifi just to watch a show. Also, the rooms aren’t that large. It was fine all around.

Great location and staff
Pros:

I spent 3 nights here for a work trip. The hotel was well priced and had a boutique feel. The front desk staff were friendly and the hotel restaurant/bar was convenient and nice. The king suite room was enormous.

Still really loved it! Would definitely stay here for a 3rd time ♥️
Pros:

Location was great, staff was very nice, price wasn’t bad at all! This is the second time I’ve stayed here.

Cons:

The bathroom this time was tiny compared to the one in the room I stayed in last time. I wish there were microwaves in the rooms!
