Overall, a great hotel and a very pleasant stay. The only area that could use some improvement is the cleanliness of certain spots around the property, such as the area right outside the check-in desk and the trash can near the elevator in the basement parking lot. Other than that, it’s a great hotel and I would definitely stay here again.

I made a last minute solo trip to stay at this lovely hotel and I also booked a Swedish massage. The hotel staff were very friendly, welcoming and provided advice on where to go for dinner what to do. They were even able to provide an early check-in after my massage. The spa was so relaxing. I had the place to myself and relaxed at the jacuzzi. Although this hotel is next to a main road I didn’t hear the noise from cars while at the jacuzzi or in my room. I slept very well too. I highly recommend staying here.

Love the property. Clean, quiet, and excellent location. The windows view out to the forest was amazing. There was no room service as we only stayed 2 nights, and it could have been little better. But we did not mind.

The staff was very pleasant and helpful. The room was very clean and comfortable, but I think it could have used a second chair. We had the ADA accessible room with the roll-on shower and that was so helpful, but the water pressure was very low. Otherwise our stay was very nice. We would have preferred some additional choices of breakfast items, but we did know that it was "Grab N' Go", not actually breakfast. Oh, and parking was great - underground and secure.
