It's a really beautiful hotel with amazing in-room workspaces and has easy access to stroll downtown when you need to unwind after a day of meetings. All the amenities are there, from Starbucks to solid BBQ, a full bar, and sundries to take upstairs in your room. The hostess was also super helpful and professional.

Great value. Great room.
The rooms here are huge. And clean. Cavernous almost. Beds were VERY COMFORTABLE. with a pillow top. AC worked so we weren’t sweltering in the summer heat and humidity. Will stay again.

Most definitely one of the upper echelons of hotel stays. My family and I stayed for a week and without any hesitation, would be our first choice.

This hotel was great, however my room did not cleaned. All three trash cans were full and I went to front desk and was told they would get someone up to clean because my room was not on the list for cleaning. This was on Sunday and I had been there since Friday.
