Beds comfortable, dinning great, love happy hour, would like breakfast during the week to be open earlier since we did day tours outside of city.
Lobby was terrible, no coffee bar to take on the go and no trash receptacles inside or out. Could not get breakfast in our room. Staff was great and welcoming.

The Hotel was nice, under renovations. My Deluxe Room was nice but the sink drain was none functional so the water wouldn’t drain.

Perfect location, overall great hotel.
Downside was had to request room to be cleaned regularly, was expecting it would have been done daily without need to ask.

The hotel is undergoing remodeling and the entire front of the hotel is covered by scaffolding. Temporary walls have been constructed inside as well. Although the staff was accommodating and the location was great it’s hard to get past the construction while We were vacationing. I believe we should have been advised of the remodeling which would have affected our decision to stay or not.
