The hotel is beautiful - staff was wonderful. Parking isn’t super convenient but they make it work and as easy as they can with their limitations! Our refrigerator was broken so we lost all our food, our fault for not checking before we used it.

We absolutely loved this hotel. First it’s absolutely gorgeous. No detail was forgotten. Even the hallways are beautiful. The staff was wonderful and helped us setup balloons and a surprise cake for our son’s 13th birthday! They went over and beyond! The martini bar was great too. We were really impressed with everything. We will definitely stay here again when in town!!
