Great walkable location, the corner King rooms have great views but the staff is what stands out the most. As soon as you walk in the door you are greeted with smiles. What so many hotels lack this one has in spades, employees who understand what good customer service is like! Only minus is that valet parking is $80 a night but the service was great from the valets

Best hotel ever my husband and I went as a date night getaway and I instantly told him “we have to go get the kiddos”! They had to experience everything that came with that hotel it was amazing they loved the basketball court, and my youngest baby loved the jacuzzi and swimming pool. We also dined in at the restaurant and the food was delicious and not to Over priced! Highly recommend it so nice inside.
