Everyone’s was super nice and the Hotel was very clean and beautifully decorated. They have a lovely bar and eating area. No coffee makers in room but the staff puts out free fresh coffee daily and told me to call the desk and they would bring coffee up if you are desiring coffee but still relax in room. Again m, east check in and check out and a great staff and Hotel Managers! I will definitely stay again soon!

The staff went out of their way to help me with a business need. They were friendly and professional. The building has been renovated and the spaces are nice. The restaurant wasn’t open for some reason and parking is inconvenient, but that’s par for the course of an urban hotel.
