Everything. I was very happy with the excellent service at the hotel. It exceeded my expectations in every way. The food at the hotel restaurant was excellent. The staff is very attentive, and the front desk is always ready to answer any of your questions.
Nothing.

The location was perfect for our trip. Every single person who works at this hotel was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had a rainy day and the umbrellas the hotel offered really made our day! Highly recommend this hotel.
Everything met our expectations. I don't have anything but positive things to say.

Room was very comfortable. I liked the lighting and the electrically controlled shades.
The door to Room 914 didnt close easily. Unless I pulled hard, the latch didn’t catch.

The location is excellent
It's a mid-market hotel in terms of quality. Nothing wrong with that. But at nearly $600 for a standard room, the price (at least in the Fall) is excessive.

Fantastic location, nice rooms and really comfy beds which is the priority.
Restaurant and bar need some soft furnishings as loud acoustics make it uncomfortable
