Stayed here for two nights with my fiancé to attend a friend’s wedding. This hotel is in the best spot for shopping, a few nice dinners and some bars. The restaurant and bar connected to it has AMAZING food. Staff at the front desk were exceptionally helpful, friendly and really made us feel safe and welcome. I would high recommend staying here, and next time we come back this will for sure be our home base.
