I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The staff truly went above and beyond to make my experience special—everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming. The shuttle service was a fantastic convenience, making transportation effortless. I also loved being within walking distance of so many great food options. The hotel itself has a nice restaurant and outdoor patio making it a wonderful place to see the sunset and enjoy a cocktail at the bar. A special shoutout to Megan at the front desk—she was exceptionally helpful, offering wonderful suggestions for activities and things to do while I was in town. Her kindness and local knowledge made my trip even better. Truly a gem! I highly recommend this hotel and will definitely be back.

Very nice and comfortable!!

I needed an assessable room and asked for it during and after booking my room like it said to do and was told I would I get this request. After a very long day at the hospital w/dad we checked in w/ help from hotel staff and made it to our nice comfortable room that had all of the needs for a disabled person! Finally someone did what they said they would do!

Comfy stay

Incredible hotel to stay the night. Room was very clean and well maintained compared to other hotels we’ve stayed. The guest service attendants were very friendly and kind making us feel welcomed. The only small detail we didn’t like was that the sliding door to our bathroom was a struggle to open and close. You really have to push/slide it hard to get it to open. Other than that I would recommend and I would stay again.
