Was in town for a wedding. Our stay was very pleasant. Staff was very nice and room was clean. Only disappointment was food in restaurant. Two meals breakfast and dinner both served cold both times restaurant was not crowded.

Check in was easy. Breakfast was nice and fresh. Only one elevator was seemed to be working with no signage or notice. Otherwise good experience for one night stay.
