Great Stay
With a great location and a knowledgeable and friendly staff this was an excellent three night stay. Hotel was clean and accommodating. I really couldn’t have asked for more. I highly recommend. The only thing I didn’t like was my shower had two shower heads and no door and the two rolled up towels that were placed at the bottom edge didn’t really cut it and my bathroom floor was very wet despite my best efforts.

Great but miss the Cherry Circle Room
Love the location and ambiance of the room. Miss the Cherry Circle Room which was my favorite dining and drinks part of the hotel on my last visit. Cindy's is nice with a great view and great food, but not as intimate and stylish as the Cherry Circle.
