"The staff was outstanding. I got there a bit before official check-in and the desk staff had mercy on a very tired traveller, letting me check in a couple of hours early and catch a nap. They were thoughtful throughout my stay. The room was great, housekeeping was helpful when I had a small issue with the bathroom. The hotel is in a wonderful location and all of the resturants/bars connected to it were very nice. I particularly appreciated the availability of gluten free options. A wonderful stay and I will be back!"
