Staff were very helpful. Check-in was fabulous. Pauline was such a joy to speak with and accommodating to my questions about the hotel. Food at restaurant was great, a few supper selections you don’t always see which was a nice treat.

Staff was friendly. Cute entrance. Convenient to bars/restaurants. Pictures looked better online. Bed was not as comfortable as some other hotels I’ve stayed. No hot tub and hotel restaurant closes early. Upon entrance, it appeared some of the hotel was under construction. Parking was not the best, Although it was nice, and staff was great, wouldn’t stay again.

The room was stuffy and too warm due to the air conditioning being shut off for the season. We opened the window which helped but still a warm room.
