Location, location, location! It's in a great spot with lots of shops and delicious food. Everyone at the hotel was so nice and helpful. Our first room had a great view, but the bathroom only had warm water. They moved us to an interior room and the water was hot in the bath and shower. Overall, a great spot for a long weekend.

Clean room. Property is starting to show some wear. Excessive deposit on the room, especially for not having a vehicle in valet. We love staying here. Restaurants and coffee shop are all great. The vibe is coo and location is perfect.
