Our deluxe king room was quite snug. We stayed on the 4th floor and the person above us was stomping so so much. The property is absolutely lovely and the location was ideal- easy walking to lots of wonderful food. I would definitely recommend this hotel- maybe just spring for the superior king.

Nice hotel. The staff is excellent. My only disappointment was that while the rooms are spacious, there is not an adequate table and chair to work from. The only via option was a sofa table with a very small and low stool.
