Gorgeous hotel with amazing location
Pros:

Bed was comfortable and room was so spacious! Everything recently updated. Great location, easy parking, fun to walk around the town.

Cons:

Elevator is old/very slow. We took the stairs a lot, which is totally fine, but flagging in case you need easy accessibility. Some construction in the restaurant/bar associated with the hotel. It was not noisy or anything, but once it's ready it will be fun to use the new spaces.

It is getting a face lift
Pros:

We were on our honeymoon, the suite we booked was being work on, so they transferred us to a smaller room. And promised compensation for the price difference. It has been almost a month and has not received a refund. Very bad customer service

Cons:

Terrible parking
