Third visit to this hotel. Room is nice, check in is easy, everything is very clean. The bar downstairs in the restaurant is excellent. Oscar and Brendan are knowledgeable and talented behind the bar and made the evening fun. Will definitely be back!

When we were checking out, the clerk asked if everything was okay. I challenged her to literally sleep in room 16 in that bed. It was awful! I swore if I would have flopped into bed- I would have flown my husband out of it. You can have all the pretty things in the room (great water pressure) mini fridge , nice shampoo etc… but the bed…… your stay at a hotel is all about your sleep. Make sure you ask if they upgraded the bed in room 16 before you pay.

Everything was amazing except for the actual sleeping. I was on the first floor, and the back door clanging open and shut every few minutes until past midnight by restaurant staff was extremely loud. I would definitely stay here again but would request a different floor.
