Make sure to get a garden facing room, better view and air conditioning units of neighboring bldgs are noisy. Room layout/design was great, 2 great espresso places across the street and a stones throw from the Thursday Farmer's Mkt. Their gym has "like new" equipment and able to get an adequate workout. I like a firmer mattress, but that's me.

Great location. I loved having bikes. The staff is very friendly. The spa is very pricey and so is the valet parking. So I got a massage outside of the hotel and also parked in a local garage instead of the hotel.

Overpriced ($500 a night) and Underwhelming Stay

This hotel is absolutely not worth the $500/night price tag. I drove 4 hours expecting a restful and high-end experience, but my stay was disappointing from start to finish. Doors were slamming all night the first night, and there was loud partying outside the second night that made sleep impossible. There was a power outage during my stay, and basic amenities like a disposable toothbrush weren’t available when I asked. I requested a room change and was told nothing was available. They only waived the parking fee ($90 total), which doesn’t come close to making up for the disruptions and lack of service. Definitely not the standard I expected at this rate. I would not stay here again.
