My mom and I stayed here for the week while my dad was in the hospital. Hotel is beautiful, rooms were very clean and well appointed. Very luxurious. Hotel staff was also very nice and helpful with my mom. Breakfast was also great! Safe area. Hotel is under a remodel but didn’t impact our stay. No complaints. Close proximity to hospital and shopping. We’ll be staying here again when my dad goes back.
