Beautiful hotel and room. The restaurant is beautiful as well, if you want a candle light dinner.

Could have been better!
For a new hotel, it was nice but the standard room is very small. Downsides: lack of parking, no breakfast available, and the only coffee is in the room. But the most unsettling was the hairs in the shower!

Beautiful place to rest your head. Very unique establishment with a great restaurant on site. Comfortable bed too! They recently opened so there are some small kinks to work out, but I highly recommend checking this place out!

The hotel was lovely and the restaurant associated with it was very good. They just needed to have a couple more cups in the room for drinking.

Rooms are nice. Parking is terrible. The walls are super thin you can hear the other rooms talking normal levels.

Beautiful hotel. No parking.
The hotel was absolutely beautiful, staff was friendly and helpful. The only down side was the lack of parking, There are about 6 spots in front of the building that are 2hr parking during the weekdays.

The hotel restaurant only serves dinner. You have to leave the property for earlier meals. That was the only downside.

Great new hotel (but a little loud)
We enjoyed our stay! The high ceilings make it a bit loud and we didn't discover the sound machine in the room until too late. Otherwise, this hotel is wonderful. New everything and a fantastic restaurant in the lobby.

Great place to stay!
This hotel just opened a few days before our trip and was beautiful. Staff was friendly, bed was comfortable and it was very clean.
