The first night was fantastic. Happy front desk that made us feel so welcome, clean hotel, modern rooms. A storm knocked out the power the second night which was a bummer but the hotel did not charge us for the nights stay. I will definitely stay here again.

We stayed here with a group of friends for our joint bachelor/ette party. The hotel was beautiful and the staff were friendly. They were quick to address an issue we had with our air-conditioning and the room was very comfortable. Several of our friends commented about how nice the hotel was. Would definitely stay again!
