Once again The Park James delivers. Very happy. If I had one wish it would be for the kitchen to be open later (last call 8:45). If appetizers were available from the bar till midnight or so, that would be great

Clean property. Restaurant and bar was closed over July 4th weekend. Seems like 1-2 people ran the entire hotel. Was not told that both bar and restaurant were closed at booking- should have been notified.

The staff was very unfriendly. There is something a miss with how they treat patrons. We checked in and they told us all the food options. Then the same staff member, josh, said there would be no food options for the entire day. Sundays they don't do food.
