Lovely property with a nice artistic touch displayed throughout the area. Gym has everything you need and the pool is very large with plenty of lounge space for guests. Would definitely visit again.

Do not stay on the first floor!
I was pleasantly surprised how nice the hotel was! The only drawback was that they put us on the first floor near an exit door that was very busy. The door slammed loudly constantly starting very early in the morning. Guest rooms should not be near exits like this.

We will be back!
From the moment we walked into the lobby everything was pleasant. The aroma through out was lovely as well. Patrick in the restaurant was so helpful. The room was roomy and the bathroom great! A speaker in the bathroom mirror added to the ambience. The pools were great too. We will be back!

Restaurant Beware
This is an amazing Hotel with a great pool, and is close to everything downtown; however i paid for the breakfast through Hotels.com. I never recieved hotel vouchers, so i was charged twice. I was told by two different hotel employees that they would credit my CC. This never happened. They also have limited wait staff. There were patrons walking out waiting on breakfast that needed to get to graduation ceremonies, and other appointments... so bring muffins !!!!!
