The location and hotel facility were perfect for us. Easy to walk to events and restaurants. The breakfast was lovely at the restaurant in the hotel. The room was very nice. Only downside was the smell of whatever spray was used to make the room smell better. We needed to l ave the room for it to dissipate - it was overpowering. It was better when we gave it some time and no issues by the time we retired for the evening.

A nice stay with some ideas for improvement.

The hotel is well-located and the staff is very helpful. It was a nice room but I would have preferred more lighting including adding lights in the closets. My complaint is the location of the room. There was a lot of motor noise constantly I think due to the machinery that runs the building. It ran all day and night. While I was able to sleep at night, it was annoying that it was constant. The food at breakfast needs improvement.
