I think my only comment is the bartender could be friendlier . She acted inconvenienced everytime we ordered a drink. It was NYE and there was only one bartender and the place was packed all night, feel like it could have been staffed better for a night like NYE.

Clean room, quiet hotel. Beautiful Christmas decorations. Breakfast was great- above and beyond the usual continental breakfast.

The overall ambiance is exceptional. Unique but still comfortable and practical. The room was very quiet and comfortable. Breakfast was delicious and had several hot and cold options, as well as many options for on-the-go. Customer service was excellent. One of my favorite hotels in the country.

Room was fantastic. Fireplace was beautiful and made the room cozy for our winter stay. Bed was comfortable. Room was clean and had an upscale feel (very spacious room with high ceilings and a cool ceiling fan/light)). Bathroom was spacious but surprisingly had just a typical shower/tub combo with a large shower head and hand held wand option - lotta counter space though. Amenities were nice. Breakfast was pretty typical of hotel food. Highly recommend spending a few extra dollars to stay here versus a typical chain hotel. Staff were friendly and helpful.
