Despite being an older hotel it was comfortably outfitted and consistently presented a classy touch of luxury. It is conveniently located for both walking and driving. Downstairs restaurant was very good and the coffee bar had good quality coffee.

If you are a heavy sleeper and want a pool close to plaza, this might be a good room for you. If you want a 5 star feel, this is not it. If you are a light sleeper, and want a quiet hotel with good location stay somewhere else.

Decent stay but needs some attention
Overall, a nice stay just pointing out some deficiencies based on expectations for price & amenities & service desired. Staycation for husband's birthday. Called prior to arrival to inquire about room, put on hold for awhile. Mediocre attitude. Same person helped me on arrival, same attitude & didn't remember me at first. Gave me good room w great view. Comfy bed. Tub & sink wouldn't drain & bathroom floor seemed a little dirty. Lamp USBs didn't charge phone & watch. Restaurant walls & floor baseboard filthy. Pool patio standing water, moldy in some places - needs redo. Comfy pool loungers. Ran out of towels. Loved walking to restaurants on Plaza for dinner.
