Very quite place, excellent for families with kids, they have free bike rental, yoga and other programs. Groceries, food cards are very close by (easy to drive or bike or walk). Only drawback is the parking gets filled up fast in the afternoon, but they do have free valet service which is good.

The staff at the front desk was a 10 plus along with their valet staff parking employees. The hotel room was always cleaned daily and the staff that cleaned the room were so nice and very honest. I left money under the pillows several times as a tip but they never took it they put in on the night stand next to the bed. I definitely would stay here again because of the location and the amazing staff at the hotel. It’s nice to have a staff now days that provides excellent service. Thanks!!!
