Great location! You can walk to great restaurants and coffee shops. The room is clean and spacious. The bed is very comfortable and it felt like a nice treat at the end of long day. The staff is very friendly, specially Tiffani and Laura at the reception desk. They were very helpful and welcoming, always greeting you with a big smile and making sure we were doing fine. I will definitely stay there on my next visit.

Loved staying here. Daughter and I went for a girls weekend. Had a great time. Staff was attentive. They forgot to give us our breakfast passes, but took care of it the next morning. The pool was under maintenance, which is a big reason we went there, but we just shopped instead. It was rainy, so the pool being closed wasn't that inconvenient.
