Enjoyed our stay very much. Our room was spacious , very clean, and the perfect temperature. The bathroom products were lovely, L’Occitane. Although fruit and coffee in the lobby in the am was appreciated, a muffin or pastry would have been appreciated also. The hotel was central with easy walking distance to everything. One slight annoyance was no on site parking, but the nearest overnight lot was a short 2 minute walk and cheaper than the hotel offsite parking.
