Room was spotless, comfortable and we really enjoyed the say. The eating selection was great too and the Red Sage resturant was amazing and a must visit while visiting. We always come back when in town to visit family.
calming and peaceful atmosphere; the room was comfortable, clean, warm and welcoming; the checkin was flawless, as was checkout; coffee service at Starbucks was impeccable; a very pleasant stay
