gorgeous location and quiet escape from the main strip. staff were attentive and friendly. the personal touches made our stay so special and even more memorable. we will definitely be returning!
This hotel was a fantastic price and location. The restaurant and bar lounge was beautiful and food was delicious. Rooms were spotlessly clean although the furniture is a little tired. Beds are super comfy. Roof top hot tub.
