Wonder weekend getaway for a couple!

We had an amazing time at the hotel! The suite we had was lovely. I loved the sliding door that had a view of the courtyard. We were able to walk to the concert venue. Plenty of places to eat,drink, and be merry! I have already recommended the hotel to friends and family.

Beautiful and well appointed rooms and common areas. Gym had limited though nice equipment and was clean and functional. Pool area was nice, parking was easy, and we didn’t use our car the whole weekend because of the location was incredibly convenient to public transit and/or exploring on foot. Would definitely stay here again and hope to eat at Elsie’s Daughter next time.

Loved how unique and cozy it was. Loved the ambiance. The room was a bit dark, more lighting would be nice. Also only one trash can in the bathroom. Need another one in the main area. Otherwise beds were super cozy and confortable and the hotel was nice and quiet. We really enjoyed our stay!!
