The hotel is beautiful, with rooms that are on the smaller side but still comfortable. Unfortunately, the refrigerator in my room wasn’t working and was leaking. Maintenance attempted to fix it, but the issue wasn’t fully resolved. The staff, however, were very cordial, and the service was excellent. Each floor features a coffee and tea station with fresh fruit, though it’s disappointing that only decaffeinated coffee was available. I appreciated the eco-friendly touch of providing glass jars for water instead of plastic bottles. The hotel restaurant was just okay, with menu options that didn’t feel worth the price. Valet parking was efficient and well-managed.

The hotel ran out of caffeinated coffee pods on my second day there of a four night stay walking down to the first floor in my pajamas was inconvenient at 6 am. Food was great but dining area only serves pizza at limited times on the weekend during busy season which did. It make any sense at all which makes it difficult to feed your child after 7pm on Sunday. You have to take your shower early as the hot water runs out after five minutes

Not too many complaints, restaurant was very good, seasonal drinks at the bar were too pricey. Coffee stations at each elevator only stocked decaf. All the staff was friendly the room was comfortable but our view was lacking.

Very beautiful hotel with friendly staff. Loved the espresso machine just outside our hotel room. Walkable to everything downtown. The restaurant is top notch (with exception of our inattentive aloof bartender), but the the food made up for it. Will definitely stay here next time we’re in town.

The TV in the room did not work and the check-in process was beyond horrendous and the worker at the front desk had no idea how to get me checked in and took her about 20 minutes to get me checked in. Also, the staff and the restaurant is pretty rude and I sat at the bar for almost 20 minutes just waiting to get a menu or even acknowledged.
