We loved the trendy vibe of the hotel — everything felt stylish but still cozy. We ended up eating most of our meals right at the hotel and honestly, the food didn’t disappoint. Service was consistently great, our bed was super comfortable, and the whole place was spotless. Would definitely recommend for anyone who wants a relaxing and tasty stay!

This is a beautiful hotel and had the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in! The only parking option is valet that cost $24, or across the street in another parking lot for $16. They had plenty of parking spots available in the lot, so I felt the price was little bit expensive. This hotel has an awesome roof top bar. I would def stay again.
