Loved it!
We were in town for a quick visit to celebrate my husband’s birthday and we had a wonderful time. The location is perfect for exploring with events, shopping and restaurants all around. The room was amazing, very comfortable and clean. I have already recommend it to family. Oh and the breakfast is the best!!!

The breakfast was by far the best part of our stay. The rooftop bar was an added bonus. Staff at the hotel are very attentive and hard working.

Great stay for visit with friends and family.
Perfect location and the best breakfast buffet in US that I recall that’s complimentary. We’ll likely stay here again.

Perfect hotel
Whole property was amazing. Gym was well equiped which is essential for me. Breakfast was outstanding!! For a free breakfast, that was totally amazing.
One small detail all hotels should follow is hard floors throughout like this property. Nothing harder than dragging heavy luggage over carpet.
Appreciated hard floors in the hallway and rooms
