Perfect stay perfect location
Such a wonderful hotel in the perfect location. The front desk texted me throughout my stay to make sure everything was OK and if we needed anything. The rooms were clean, spacious and well appointed. Restaurant and bar were excellent. Would definitely make this hotel a priority next time I come to town.
