"I've stayed here several times and the staff is excellent every time I go! They are helpful, accomodating and pleasant. The hotel itself is beautiful but I think it is starting to show signs of being dated. There aren't many amenties but there are spaces to work and a restuarant to eat. Most things are walkable from the hotel. Standard rooms are an okay stay but I would recommend upgrading if you can."

Never felt so taken care of by housekeeping. Didn’t have room cleaned daily and on those days left bag of towels, toilet paper, Kleenex, coffee, creamer and teas at the door.
