Terrific hotel with friendly staff and perfect rooms. Easy walk to multiple dining options but the hotel restaurant is quite good as well (make reservations though). Looking forward to our next stay there!
Spacious room, great location, love the attached restaurant. The only comment is that it can be loud in the hallways when you’re trying to sleep, as people go back and forth into the wee hours.
The location is excellent and has a pleasant cozy lobby area perfect for hanging out with friends. The room was very clean and big enough for my family of four. I enjoyed the blend of a boutique atmosphere with the modern feel of a larger hotel.
What a great stay! Exceptional hotel. Helpful staff, super clean, great location & nice amenities (especially complimentary hot chocolate when coming in from a blustery day). The restaurant in the hotel really serves delicious Italian food, too!
Will definitely stay here again on a return visit.
