Lovely hotel. Pool was a nice perk. Tavern was out of an entree, a side, and several salads and only had 1 non-meat option for vegetarians. Parking for guests is 2 blocks away. Apparently the only staff at checkout was also the valet: that led to a big line at morning checkout. Pls hire another person to valet.
