Compared to other hotels in its class, the service here is top-notch. The room decor isn't overly traditional, featuring prominent details and a clean, cozy atmosphere that feels like home. The pricing is fair, and the location is excellent. Traveling is effortless thanks to the hotel's one-mile shuttle service, and privacy is exceptional (we had a balcony room on the 19th floor). Overall great stay.
Treated myself to a little local getaway for my birthday, and it was exactly what I needed. Demi was the best, Alyssa gave the most amazing massages, the food was delicious, and everything was so comfortable. Such a perfect birthday treat! 💕✨
Top of the line customer service! I can’t express how deeply I am impressed with your hotel, the feel, the specialness of it all! My first time there, has left me with a lasting impression I will never forget! Classy and it smelled like Paris! Love everything about the hotel. Wish I could have stayed longer. Thank you for keeping such a prestigious hotel at top standard!
