Reviews and Ratings
I had a wonderful time at this hotel, located in a prime spot near the medical center and surrounded by great dining options. The rooms were top-notch, and the service was exceptional. However, the dining experience left something to be desired. The facilities were excellent, but there were a few minor downsides related to pricing.
The hotel is conveniently located near a big park and university, making it excellent for a relaxing stroll or a refreshing run. The rooms are clean and cozy, with a welcoming atmosphere, although some might find the price a bit high. The friendly service adds a nice touch, enhancing the overall experience, but there are occasional delays. The location is superb, close to Downtown and many attractions, ensuring a lively and accessible stay. The dining options are satisfying, offering a variety of small dishes to enjoy.
