Large rooms are fairly nice, but expensive (although not bad for the area). It was quiet and a comfortable bed. Uber was a quick way to main attractions without the hassle of traffic and parking.

We only stayed for one night, but it was a great room and we would definitely stay here again. The included breakfast and wine/cheese in the afternoon were great perks.

Loved the look and vibe, the continental breakfast was fantastic and staff was amazing. The one and only thing that we think needs a little help is parking. It is awesome that you are ok to park at the near by sister properties but a little more at this location would be nice. Thank you for a wonderful weekend we will be back.
