Love this hotel. I've been here a few times before and always opt to go back for a visit. The rooms are lovely, and very spacious. Staff are also very helpful. My favorite things about this hotel is the location and free breakfast. They have a great breakfast with tons of hot options. I also loved the wine I had at the bar.
