Second Stay this Year!

Stayed here for the second time this year. It was quiet, comfortable, the front desk staff was absolutely amazing, and the food in the Otter Room was great (I have food allergies, and they took great care to ensure I wouldn't have a bad experience). Highly recommend this property.

Overall, everything was very clean and nice. I have no complaints about the room, and found it comfortable and spacious. The bar/restaurant kind of scared me off. It seemed more like a local hangout spot than a hotel amenity.
