Modernized environment with relaxing areas to hang out at like a yoga area and fire pits to warm up together at. Room was spacious and clean, had warm lighting and designs. Loved the artwork! Bathing and toilet area was a bit cramped but I loved their soaps, shampoo and conditioner! I will stay there again.

We loved our stay at Sessions. The rooms and all facilities were exceptionally clean. The staff was very helpful, especially Venetia. The amenities were great, we especially loved being able to play in the snow on the back of the property, since we have very young children it was very convenient. Just be aware that the building is older and so not as quiet as a normal hotel would be, although that wasn’t too much of a problem for us. Great location, definitely worth the price.
