Excellent stay! The hotel is lovely and the renovations respected the architectural style of the original Elks Lodge. The staff was exceptional - every interaction we had with them was professional and friendly. We ran the 1/2 Marathon so having coffee available at 4am was an appreciated extra kindness.

Lovely hotel, I’ve stayed many times. The staff is wonderful, the coffee set up in the morning is perfect, the nightly turn down service includes a delicious treat (often fresh baked cookies still warm) and the rooms are large and beautiful. Very conveniently walking distance to all the restaurants. I love this hotel!

We had a brief but fabulous time. Miranda, the concierge, could not have been more accommodating and sweet. She made the stay extra nice. The room was impeccable. The bed comfortable but even better the pillows were comfortable. This hotel even smells nice! I can’t say enough good things about our stay here. We can’t wait to return.
