Great place to stay if you love having prime location and great service. The only thing is while they are doing construction on pool and spa (until Summer 2025) make sure to ask at check in to be in a room away from that area of the hotel. Otherwise, lovely stay.

Would not have booked if we were aware of renovations underway. On vacation and awaken 2 of 3 mornings at 7am with hammering followed by fire drill practice same mornings. However, a beautiful property. The noise just took away from the experience.

My wife and I love the place and the staff is great. We have been planning on a once every month stay while we are working in separate places. However, that last time we were there the construction was horrible. We knew it would be on Friday but it flat out said not on Saturday. So we were kept up all morning with sawing. We are looking around now till at least he construction is over

Great property in a great location; the rooms show some signs of wear; pillows felt like they were 20 years old and the room we had on the 4th floor had constant wind noise coming from roof. But, really nice hotel otherwise; great location.

I love this place normally. I have been having to travel for work and once a month me and my wife meet there for a getaway together. 1st 2 times were great but this last was terrible. Since my wife and I only see each other for a weekend once a month due to work travel. The construction going on all day Saturday which seemed to be directly above our heads was so horrible and started so early. We knew about the weekday construction and the memo in the room confirmed it. But it was NOT for Saturday. only Monday thru Friday. Anyway, it was not great. So now we looking around and maybe try another place in the same area because the location is amazing.
