"We had a great stay at this hotel. It is very clean and beautifully decorated. The entire staff was welcoming and friendly. The bartenders were excellent! We never ate in the restaurant but did eat at the bar one night. The food was a 7/10. We were a little surprised that the hotel did not offer free coffee or breakfast. We paid $10 for 2 cups of coffee and was told breakfast was $16 per person. Besides the costs of food and beverages, we enjoyed our stay and will stay again in the future. "
