Pros:

Location was perfect. The restaurant was phenomenal, a bit pricey but worth it. The room was spacious, beds and pillows were comfortable, the shower was not cleaned well but the overall cleanliness was great. Nice updates in the rooms.

Wonderful Hotel
Pros:

I took my lady here for her birthday and what a wonderful experience we had! Not only was the room really beautiful but the bathroom... that was one of the nicest hotel bathrooms I have ever seen! I set up the room with flowers bottle of sparkling wine on ice with glasses Yvonne, one of the staff there went above and beyond by helping me orchestrate everything! It would not have been possible without her! All the other staff here are so incredibly nice and really make it special! I will gladly come back here. What a great experience!
