From the moment we pulled up we were greeted by the friendliest bellman, he was funny and very helpful. Check in was a breeze, we were greeted with smiles and chocolate. The room was clean and the extras were appreciated. The restaurant attached was excellent as well, delicious food and top knotch service, our server was amazing and helpful. We would definitely stay here again.
