Would have given 5Stars but they put us in the same room as last year. The whole pleasure of staying there is to have a different atmosphere
We enjoy staying at the McMinimens properties. They are so fun and creative. You can tell that the staff likes working there too. We look forward to visiting more properties in the future.
the room was clean and we loved the firm large bed. even though there were other guests it was very quiet on our floor. the layout was accessible for relaxing as well as getting some work done, if needed. looking forward to returning
Great spot to explore. We were only there for the night but will definitely be planning another trip to explore the hotel and stores in the area.
Historical spot , very interesting. Great staff as well
