Great location
We stayed overnight for a couples getaway. Even though they were under construction, everything was clean and orderly. We prepaid for our breakfast and was shocked at the amoint of food we got. It was very good. Just surprising amount. I would only park in the garage under the hotel if you have a tiny car. Otherwise, use their other garage. Nice hotel and staff. Would stay again.

Upgraded our room for free since our original room wasnt ready, was not made aware you pay additional for parking. Sodas in the lobby were also expired, room itself was spotless and great views. Within walking distance of everything we wanted to go see. Besides the parking fees and expired goods overall it was a great place to stay. Just wish they made you aware of paying to park with them.

Our stay at this hotel exceeded our expectations. Though the parts of the facility were under remodeling/construction we never would have known except for entering/leaving through an alternate route. All areas that we visited were very clean and beds in our room were very comfortable. All staff we encountered were courteous pleasant and concerned about our comfort and needs. My husband is blind and all staff were intuned to this. Mark, Grisel and Richard at the front desk were wonderful as were the dining room staff. We only had breakfast during our stay but it was delicious. Alex the van driver was pleasant as well. We will definitely return here.
