"Beautiful Week end."
Overall Score4.0/ 5
Loved the architecture of the lobby. The rooms were very comfortable. The location downtown was very good. We were able to bicycle down to the water front and enjoy the park, have dinner, etc. One disappointment was we were having trouble with the safe and called the front desk. We never heard another word from anyone.

"Stunning atmosphere with friendly workers!"
Overall Score5.0/ 5
This hotel has so much beauty in the architecture of it. Everywhere you look there’s another beautiful painting or artifact to see. The workers were all extremely polite and thankful for anything you asked of them. Brian was an exceptional bellhop who we enjoyed seeing daily. The wedding venue was outstanding and an overall great experience.
