We always love coming here. The gardens are beautiful, the lobby is comfortable and the rooms are spacious and clean. Just a block and a half from State Street makes it an ideal location to stroll and get lunch or dinner without a car. The beautiful weather didn’t hurt, either! Great place to relax and enjoy.
