Nice Place to stay, room was clean and the staff was very good. The young man and young lady in the bar were excellent on the night of 02/07. The only that was a problem for me was there was no coffee or tea amenties before 7:00 am, but the young man at the front desk on 02/08 went and took care of us. Very impressed!

The entire hotel is beautiful. Special and upscale but at a reasonable price. Quiet, Comfortable, clean and well appointed rooms. Desk staff was very helpful. We had one slight issue that was quickly resolved and was given complimentary coffee at the cafe for our troubles which was not necessary but appreciated. Ate at the cafe for breakfast and staff was also very welcoming. Will stay again!
