Love this property and have stayed during the week before for work. We stayed two nights on Fri/Sat nights and the nighttime noise outside was horrid from 9pm-1am. Luckily we traveled with our sound machine but still heard it. This is not the hotels fault but something I’ve never experienced.

The front desk staff was exemplary, as were the breakfast servers. The breakfast choices were plentiful; I appreciated that. I was unused to the magnets for the “do not disturb” option; another guest pointed it out to me. The cleaning seemed to be random.

Very nice hotel and breakfast we would definitely come back to stay longer! The outdoor hot tub looked really nice. The location was nice to be on the outskirts of the city!
