Great hotel! Breakfast was outstanding, so much to offer along with freshly ground coffee beans brewed for coffee. Beds comfortable and rooms decorated with a minimalist feel.

Great stay except for smelly pillowcases.

Newly renovated hotel which was very nice. Friendly staff. Negative- 2 pillows we tried to use smelled like they hadn’t changed the pillow cases from previous guests, so that was gross.
