I would come back a million times if I could. The water pressure alone was incredible and the tub was to die for. The bed was very comfortable and the room was extremely spacious. They had several gluten free options for breakfast which was a huge bonus for me. One added surprise was the nesppresso machine in the main lobby so I could have a latte every morning. One of the best hotels I’ve ever stayed at.

I think this hotel had a recent facelift/refresh and they did a great job! The ambiance is really nice. The rooms are better than average. The bed was great and the breakfast was really well done. We don't usually eat hotel breakfast but we did today!
