This is a great hotel, in an excellent location, and a lovely staff. The rooms are a good size and comfortable. The food at the breakfast buffet is very good and worth the cost. My only criticism was that my room obviously had been smoked in at some point in the recent past. It wasn't overwhelming but noticeable. Staff was very responsive and I was immediately offered a new room which I declined just because it didn't really bother me. The gym is also decent size, clean, and has good equipment. The location is excellent for great restaurants and shopping close by and downtown is easily accessible by a short drive. Highly recommend this hotel and will stay here again.

The room was great! It was absolutely beautiful! The room was on the perfect floor! The staff was amazing throughout my stay. The dining facilities were impressive. The only problems were the water went down for a few hours, it had to be filtered. There was construction that caused a lot of noise for a few hours. The parking was supposed to be included, but ended up being $40 per night.

Such a beautiful hotel! The woman who helped us check in was so nice and helpful. We told her it was our anniversary and she sent us chocolates and fruit to our room for free with a happy anniversary note. Amazing service. Or heater wasn’t working and they sent someone to fix it immediately.
