A wonderful place to stay!

We were so impressed with the attention to detail used when decorating this hotel. It was beautifully done. The room was large and spotlessly clean and the bed was very comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and the location was a 5 minute walk to the main downtown area. All in all, it was perfect.
