This hotel made our anniversary trip so lovely. Our room was large and the bed was comfortable. The bathroom had a large shower and a nice jetted tub plus a heated bidet! The service was stellar with complimentary champagne on arrival and they allowed early check in since they had a room available. We loved the two bars and had a nice dinner in the Chez Ami retaurant. My favorite part was the hot spring. We spent time winding down in the spring every night! The location is convienient to many restaurants, clubs, and also the Shea theater. We would love to stay again!
