I liked everything about this Hotel, friendly staff conveniently located, great eating places we were able to walk to restaurants at night. They thought of everything each room has something so simple as an umbrella for use (I have never seen a hotel provide umbrellas. and we needed it!). I would stay again, and again and again, no question.

We were so pleased with our stay. Staff was excellent, we were able to check in super early, stay late and enjoyed breakfast at the attached cafe every day — so good! I have paid twice the amount for half the value at many other hotels. Would absolutely return.

Lovely hotel, great room

Once of my favorite hotels I've stayed at. My room appeared to be newly renovated and was lovely. Everything was clean, in working order, and very beautifully designed. The bed was so comfortable and there was plenty of space throughout the room. The staff was very helpful and friendly. I will certainly be back!
