We loved everything about Hotel Heron. The staff was friendly and helpful. The rooms were large, including the bathroom. We especially loved the Speakeasy and the rooftop bar and view! One of my coworkers recommended we stay here and she was spot on. We would definitely stay here again and recommend to others. My friend called the desk to ask where the ice machine was located and was told they would bring us some ice and they did.
