Service was lovely — the hotel and gardens were gorgeous and so enjoyable! The food was delicious — the bartenders needed a bit more training though as they struggled to keep up with guests / attend to people arriving quickly (although they were so sweet!).

We had an awesome stay here! The location was perfect and it was a super easy to walk to the stadium. The rooms were super clean, and the hotel had everything we needed. The sports bar downstairs was such a nice bonus and had great food. The Hatch Smash burger was so good! Definitely recommend staying here if you’re in town.

All of the staff was extremely outgoing and wanted to make sure we had the best stay possible. We loved the room - very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The only thing I would say that could be improved is notifying people that they had an option to park without using the valet service and if they chose to use it there would be a daily fee.
