LOVED the bathroom setup, the showers are spacious and the water pressure is great. Super clean facilities, very friendly front desk staff, comfortable beds. The food at the restaurant downstairs is some of the best I’ve ever had, and the wait staff there were amazing. I will definitely be back next time I’m in this part of the country.

We were on a family vacation passing thru and when we got in our room the toilet wasn't flushing properly so they ended up upgrading us to what's called the squid room. A huge room. My kids were overjoyed. The breakfast was great and fresh and the beds and pillows were soft and comfortable. We had an amazing time. If I could rate this hotel higher than a 10 I would.

The hotel itself is beautiful, with art throughout and extremely clean. The staff went over and above taking care of us. It was a neat option to book private hot tub time which was a perfect wind down for our evening. Also, the room smelled AMAZING!! There is an amazing restaurant within walking distance to check out as well - Gilgamesh Brewing. I highly recommend both places and we will definitely be coming back!

This hotel was beautiful! Everything from the room to the breakfast was amazing! I had an issue with the TV and the front desk lady, I forgot her name, was absolutely the coolest! She came right up to my room and fixed it! What doll she was! I wish I remembered her name because her manager needs to know what an amazing employee they has with her!
Looking out my window!
We had the corner room suite and it was gorgeous
The tables here are to die for! Absolutely astonishing
