Had a great stay. The staff were so kind and the room was clean for the most part. There were stains on the ottoman and the bathroom shower head could use some cleaning. Overall I enjoyed my stay. The body wash, shampoo, and conditioner smelled really good too.

The hotel had everything we needed…comfy beds, Starbucks in the morning, had lunch at the restaurant (delicious), and a nice lounge for a night cap. We really appreciated the valet parking! Loved the revamping of an older hotel.
