This property exceeded our expectations at almost every turn. It is a well maintained luxury property with excellent, friendly staff. Our guest room was generously large and the public sitting area was clean and inviting. The check-in/out process was different than expected but there was plenty of staff to walk us through the process.

Overall, the property's location is great, and the amenities were on point. However, the room size was very small and unacceptable. Thank goodness, I was traveling by myself. Otherwise, the room would not have been accommodating for more than one person.

Great location and close to all local attractions. Hotel was clean and comfortable. Is beginning to look a little tired but otherwise it’s a great location for all tourist areas. It can be a little noisy at night but can’t hear too much from the rooms if windows are closed.
