Nice stay
Fun vibe, nice rooms and amenities. Fitness room open until 11. The hot tub was just a bit too hot for me and my partner. Breakfast was a step above your average continental with lots of choices. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful at night and in the morning

Great couples stay
The staff at the front desk were wonderful as was the bartender at the martini bar. Only negative was the soaps/shampoo/conditioner in the rooms smelled terrible - to the point where I did not want to use it. Everything else was great and we'll just bring our own shampoo, etc. next time.

Great hotel.
Hillary, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Lovely Hotel! Great bartender.
We just loved everything about our stay in this cute boutique hotel. I am a cat person, so I was especially charmed by a framed photo of a gray cat "flipping the bird" in our room. We were lucky enough to have bartender Sherry serving us her award winning cocktail garnished with a rock candy stick. We wanted to come back every night to see her but family obligations got in the way. I would have liked a magnifying mirror in the room, but that is a small thing.
