"This hotel is gorgeous!! It was a great location for us since we were in town for a concert at Grand Casino Arena and it was walking distance. The hotel is beautifully decorated and very charming. The bar and bartender were excellent! The breakfast had a great selection and the food much better than the average continental breakfast. Plus, it’s served in a beautiful old chapel with stained glass windows. Parking is not included but there is a parking garage right behind the building. I would 100% recommend this hotel"
