Was overall a fantastic experience! The staff very friendly, easy access to the hub of everything. The only negative thing i could say is that we ordered a quick breakfast of oatmeal and bagel, it took forever. And i ordered Cinnamon sugar oatmeal and was brought oatmeal with raisins. We had reservations to do something so wasnt able to eat. Not that big of a deal. Rooms were very clean. I have to give myself daily injections ,so that was a little tricky trying to keep my pen cold without a fridge in room. But it all worked out. Fabulous time!

What a beautiful Hotel! Went for the spooky October scene and it did not disappoint. Parking was easy. When checked in they gave me a parking pass to place in car. The hotel is so close to all the activity, shops and dining. Rooms were clean and beautiful. We ate at The Tavern, drinks were delicious and food was yum! Also had breakfast at the hotel, amazing portions for a fabulous price! Will definitely book again
