We enjoyed the hotel very much. Stylish room and nice amenities. Perfect location. We were here for Thanksgiving weekend. The only bummer of the trip was the Thanksgiving Buffet. Meh food, served in what felt like the community room in an assisted living home. That gripe aside, we enjoyed our stay and would return to this property without hesitation.

Need to have ice machines - only ice was in little snack area on each floor in which there was a bag of mostly melted ice and that was it. Also, lighting in room was lacking - too dark and, only lights were individual lamps which had to be turned on/off individually - no wall switches for other than entrance light. Very inconvenient.
