The hotel was just beautiful. Everyone was so great. The decorations for Christmas were just amazing and so festive but elegant as is the hotel. We arrive early and they let us use the lounge to warm up and have coffee or tea so we just really appreciated the staff kindness.

The stay was nice overall. We enjoyed the parking, and the location was nice. The rooms were a little tight because my mom was in a wheelchair. The hallways weren’t suited for a wheelchair either. The front desk lady was super friendly, and so were the breakfast buffet workers.
