Location, cleanliness, rooftop ambiance in the day & night.

The location of the hotel for us and our anniversary dinner was excellent and walkable for us, which was essential, since we did not have in/out parking privileges. Our breakfast was delicious and delivered according to our specifications/requests.

The Gwen was great. I absolutely loved that there was a shopping mall connected to the hotel. We didn't have to go outside. All the sites were within walking distance.

The location is perfect for dining and shopping. The rooms are clean and the staff are friendly. Beds are comfortable.

it’s a beautiful hotel with a beautiful lobby and lobby bar. we really enjoyed sitting in the relaxed atmosphere of the lobby to have a cocktail and relax!

Nice location. Clean, modern and comfortable. We have stayed here multiple times and would stay again.

First room we had no..second room YES! WHEN USING booking ALWAYS call..they do not always book you the right room..

Breakfast was DELICIOUS! We really loved the waffles. The room was very comfortable and cozy. I enjoyed the city view. The rooftop was a whole vibe! We loved it. That’s where we took really nice pictures for my daughter’s birthday. I would LOVE to stay again in the summertime.

Friendly nice staff from the first day to the last. Food was good and the drinks as well. The room was fabulous. I plan on returning. The room was clean and neat. The view was nice.

The location is perfect. The beds are very comfortable and the room is clean. They provide Milton Brown bath products which are wonderful.
