This is our second time staying here. The hotel staff is really wonderful and they bent over backwards to make sure all of our requests and even last minute changes were met. The beds are probably the most comfortable i have ever slept in. So many little touches like wine time and doggie treats too. The downtown area is struggling with the element, but we are seeing that all over sadly.
