Although the room was on the small side, it was well appointed, functionable, and quiet. Pillows were very comfortable and room temp was easy to regulate. Staff was helpful and valet parking was easy and timely. Would definitely stay here again. Didn’t eat in the restaurant but the menu looked interesting.
