Staff was incredibly friendly and professional. We had a slight issue with our room on the first night, and the staff worked to address it the best they could within the constraints of a fully booked hotel for the night. Outside courtyard area is delightful to relax in. Breakfast was just ok, but free so nothing to complain about. Overall, we had a great stay and would come back again!

Courtyard … saved us in the pouring rain. Food was so-so but we had bumped into a wedding that put a strain on things. We were a family party of 10. Satisfied. A room temp issue was rectified by immediately changing our room and giving us a token credit. Appreciated but not requested.

This was a girls trip and we had a wonderful time. It was slow season so it was very peaceful. Our only disappointment was that the hotel restaurant was very limited due to kitchen renovations but we also realize that these inconveniences are necessary for future clients and can't be helped. We however did find excellent restaurants nearby.
