Really loved the food at Zinfandel and the Bistro. Usually we don't like eating in hotels but this was a very different experience altogether.

Douglas Canada

The staff was friendly and efficient during check-in. It was quite busy as we were there right before Christmas. 100% of the staff that we came into contact with were wearing a mask. The concierge scheduled a last minute hair appointment which was much appreciated. Room service was also very accommodating and friendly.
