Guest Reviews & Ratings
Staying at this hotel was a delightful experience. The room was nice, and it's in a wonderful location, but we may have been assigned a handicap accessible bathroom. The service was impeccable, with staff eager to assist us at every turn. The location was ideal for exploring downtown, with a minor inconvenience of early morning construction noise. The dining experience was lovely, delivered promptly each morning. Overall, a great stay with a few minor drawbacks.
