The staff were super nice and friendly! The room is wonderful with a mini fridge and very clean and well maintained. The roof restaurant had amazing food and there is another place to eat in the lobby. Free delicious coffee in the morning. I went in the very beginning of September so it was nice and quiet in the mornings. Couldn't hear any noise from the street in my second floor room. They do not have parking on sight but they are super helpful in helping you find a place to park or be dropped off. Most likely be prepared to pay for parking somewhere.

Everyone was so friendly, kind, and obviously knowledgeable about the area. They gave us great recommendations for other places around town to see, and we had an amazing time. The food at The Counter was so so good! Everything felt cozy but had a quiet luxury to it. We loved everything on our stay! We will definitely be back again soon!!
