The room was perfect - large, clean, quiet, comfortable, and modern. It felt more like a studio apartment than a hotel room in all the right ways. The kitchenette was equipped with all the comforts of home and then some. Linens were great and the bed was super comfortable. Staff was welcoming, helpful, and personable. But our favorite parts were the coffee bar/lounge on the second floor and the restaurant/bar on the top floor. They were so cozy & convenient! Hot coffee overlooking a beautiful courtyard on a chilly morning? An amaretto hot chocolate on a cold January night? All without leaving the hotel??? Yep...perfect!

Everything about this place was just fantastic! The cleanliness and the comfortability was amazing. The staff were so welcoming. I was immediately offered complimentary champagne which kicked off our stay! This hotel is in the heart of downtown so we were able to shop, eat and look around all within walking distance which is a plus! The rooftop bar was such a vibe! I would absolutely stay here again!
