Wonderful stay during the holidays, and visiting with a toddler. The hotel was beautifully decorated. Staff in the lobby and the adjacent coffee shop were very attentive, and kind. Everyone went out of their way to ensure we were comfortable and made our family feel very welcomed during our 4 day stay. Our toddler had a wonderful time and even received some small gifts from the concierge which he has continued to talk about. Highly recommended.
