Room was very clean and nice. Only problem was you could hear the people in floor above stomping around. It was hard to sleep. I believe its was a structural problem.

The hotel was very pretty, with outdoor seating with nice landscaping. The room was great as were the staff. The breakfast was fabulous, especially the bacon. The only complaint I have is small but I think woth mentioning. The selection of hot tea was very poor. Many of the other chains have great varieties.
