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!

Joelle

We stay her quite a bit - they really need to up the housekeeping and room inspection. We had to be moved as soon as we got there because the heat was not working. The second room we were put in had no blow dryer - we found it eventually in the closet. There was no options for alcohol and only one pod for the coffee maker. The doors on the shower dont work so the door leaks all over the floor. It doesnt look like they have cleaned the windows or sills in quite some time. It is a nice hotel they just need to clean it better.
