They serve a great breakfast. I would recommend paying for it at the time of booking to save money. Everything about my stay was excellent. The only complaint was their slowness in releasing my room deposit upon checkout.

9/10 Wonderful! (1,157 reviews)

I think service was the most disappointing at front desk and restaurant . The host Also , we ended up going to Riggs for breakfast one morning because the breakfast menu was very mediocre and eating it for 3 days in a row got very old . Dinner menu is not bad but also only if you eat there once , they don’t even offer daily specials that would add a little variety .
