This property was outstanding and really centrally located. The room layout was perfect for my family (2 adults and 1 teen). The hotel was charming with a great vibe, staff very friendly and helpful, and breakfast was excellent with lots of options before heading out to explore the city. I highly recommend this hotel and would stay here again if ever back in the city. It's a great choice and great value.
