The room was very spacious, and the restaurant downstairs is amazing. I should offer at least a free coffee voucher with each stay. Courteous and friendly staff at the desk. Would definitely stay again!
Perfect location, clean, spacious and very friendly staff. Only minor complaint, the toiletries in the shower were not refilled. Usually not a big deal, I only noticed because I forgot my body wash. Easy street parking, and there’s a Walgreens just a block away.
