The hotel was sparkling clean, staff was great, and the bar and restaurant were fabulous. Although please ask the late night pianist to drop his keyboard volume down somewhere below deafening. Great stay!! Highly recommended.
Property was very neat and clean. Staff was extremely nice and helpful. Thought the restuarant/bar was a bit expensive and posh but i think this is the vibe they were going for. Overall great hospitlality and based on other experiences... room, fee and taxes were on course or a touch below what i would expect to pay for the niceness of the hotel and area we we were in.
