Great hotel. I enjoyed dinner at the hotel restaurant. The room was comfortable. I loved having coffee in the room in the morning. I came for the AIDS walk and the hotel’s location was perfect.

Very good experience at this hotel. Excellent location, attentive and friendly staff, room was clean. Bed and pillows were extremely comfortable. Only complaint was the bathroom - very little counter space (or anywhere to store toiletries) and the sliding barn door did little for privacy. Otherwise, very happy with our stay and would stay here again.

Very clean and comfortable room. Elevators are a little slow and on the small side. I was given a $16 coupon for a meal in the restaurant that opens from the hotel’s lobby. It was raining hard the second day of my stay and the front desk was happy to lend me one of their umbrellas. Also, as I had food poisoning the night before departure, I asked if my checkout time could be moved later. They gave me an extra hour. Only thing that could have been better is if the shower head wouldn’t start leaking water what seemed like once an hour while I was trying to sleep.
