Daytime staff was amazing, check-in in evening was not all that friendly, and I had to beg for a quieter room on a higher floor...and could still hear other people from inside my room. Nothing terribly interesting in the area around the hotel.

I was impressed that there was a laundry service and good work out room. The hotel has the feel of a boutique hotel. The desk explained everything (including the weekend breakfast situation) clearly at check in. We were very happy with our two night stay.

We had a wonderful weekend at this property that met all our needs except one: quiet. There was a private wedding reception in the hotel restaurant Saturday evening. The music from the band—especially the drums—reverberated in our room four floors above and made sleep elusive. We will definitely stay here again, but will ask if there are any receptions scheduled. If so we will request a room on the other side of the hotel.
