Pros:

Love the location. The breakfast was great for being included. Bar on site!

Pros:

Clean, welcoming, and comfortable; would definitely stay again!
Pros:

Beautiful property with very friendly, helpful staff. Rooms were clean and modern. Complimentary breakfast was typical, clean, and tasty. Great location with beautiful views.

Cons:

One of the elevators was out of service for a day, caused a bit of a delay but nothing too terrible. Some of the outlets did not work in the room. Located in business district so lots of surrounding things closed on weekends during off season (Feb)

They have given us excellent service.
