I'm glad you enjoyed the comfortable beds we have in our rooms. As our restaurant closes quite late on weekends for functions, guests can sometimes experience additional noise in the rooms. We endeavor to inform our guests of this on busy nights. We hope to see you again soon!

The only negative is the reserved parking at rear is usually taken up by non guest dining in the bistro area.
