we loved the location of the hotel- so close to everything we wanted to do, but still quiet. Large lobby offered a welcoming haven after a day out and about. The on site restaurant was lovely-food delicious too! The staff was great- when we arrived there was an tech issue with card keys not being read-Staff happily walked us to our room to let us in until the issue was resolved. So glad we chose to stay at The Emmiline!

The hotel was absolutely beautiful. The beds were super comfortable and the showers were great! Our room felt a bit outdated, but it didn’t take away from the overall experience.
