I feel like we got a great value for our stay. Friendly staff at check in, super helpful with questions about parking. Parking was close and convenient. The hotel was beautiful. Very clean. Traffic noise was a bit loud at night, but hard to avoid that with it being downtown. Breakfast in the morning was good, lots of options. Hot tub and sauna were a great plus. If I’m in the area again, I’d stay there again without question.
