Really good Amenities and Convenient Location

helpful staff local restaurant gluten-free option valet parking

The staff was helpful. I appreciated their knowledge regarding local restaurants. Simon, the concierge, offered great gluten-free options. The hotel also provides convenient valet parking, helpful given the busy street. Breakfast offered extensive options, including made-to-order dishes.

The room key is a large fob, which I found slightly inconvenient to carry around.
