Everything was excellent. Staff were helpful and eager to please. Breakfast was the best we have had in a hotel. Street outside was a bit loud at night, and may be a problem for light sleepers. Would absolutely stay here again.

Property was clean and staff was helpful. There is construction going on and they start daily by 8:00 am. Normally that wouldn't bother us but we like to sleep in on vacation.
