Great location in the heart of downtown, close to shopping and restaurants! The staff makes you feel welcome from the moment you walk in. I especially loved the weekend music and wine nights—they made the stay even more enjoyable. I would definitely come back and perhaps try the penthouse next time!
The room was spacious and had a nice kitchenette. The staff was incredible. Good location. The parking garage under the building is very tight and crowded, so a larger car is difficult to maneuver.
