Great hotel! Breakfast was outstanding, so much to offer along with freshly ground coffee beans brewed for coffee. Beds comfortable and rooms decorated with a minimalist feel. Staff from front desk to breakfast staff was extremely helpful and pleasant. I would have give an excellent rating for every category except the hot tub was not working which was the one thing I was looking forward to enjoying.

Was a quiet overnight stay. Staff were all great, check in easy & breakfast staff super too! My only complaint, the fitted sheet was not smooth & soothing, almost like it was pilled or fuzzballs on it from age (?). Otherwise we had a nice stay.
