This hotel is top notch. No detail was left behind. The coffee bar on the main level served freshly made latte’s in clay cups and rubber lids at no extra cost which was still cheaper than Starbucks. The bedrooms were just the right size. Upstairs had a beautiful outdoor patio that was perfect in the evening.
