This hotel is fabulous but it should be noted that it can be noisy. Unfortunately, the central courtyard hosts events at the hotel restaurant complete with loud music and rowdy partiers.

Lovely hotel! The bed was super comfy and the rooms were very clean. For the ladies, they have Dyson hair dryers which is really nice. Our rooms were really quiet and the front desk super helpful.

Pretty nice place, room was okay had some maintenance issues. The bed was comfortable but kept rolling me to the middle while solo so I'm not sure how a couple could deal with that. Bar was nice with great staff. Location was terrific to jump off on many adventures.
