Angelyn

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Really enjoyed the location for its walkability to all of our activities downtown. Self parking is $25/day (there is also valet for $30) and was easily accessible. The beds were comfortable, however all the pillows provided became very flat during the night, resulting in poor sleep for us. While the restaurant’s breakfast buffet looked lovely, it would be great if an a la carte option could be provided for those who want a simple, grab and go item in the morning.
