I felt pampered here. My room was a superior inland king. it was super clean and very comfortable. the staff was so attentive and helpful throughout the entire hotel. Their service added a special touch. i could not fault the room at all, it exceeded my expectations.
the bar lacked a certain warmth! the lighting felt a little harsh, and i missed a cozy corner for quiet conversation. the seating felt a bit spaced out.
