Room was clean, staff was friendly and attentive. I liked the restaurant and bar. The only issue that wasn't great is that parking is super confusing and we ended up paying for valet because it was not clear what other options we had. Other than that it was a good stay!

Everyone working was beyond friendly. The room was super spacious. I recommend the top floor or not at all. We did not have a top floor and could hear the people above us walking around half the night. We were also woke up by the construction being done on the building outside. But aa long as thats over i would stay there again. The location was perfect for what we needed.
