We had a great stay! The hotel is very cute and has a great boutique decor throughout. The staff was consistently polite, professional, and friendly. We easily walked to breakfast, dinner, and shopping areas. The restaurant on site should be skipped considering the significantly better options within a few blocks. The menu looks great, but the execution misses over and over. I would definitely stay here the next time we're in town.
