Best service!
Prices were comparable to a local very fancy hotel, I thought this location would be fun and artsy as it was named with the Steam Plant restaurant, which is where we were having dinner. The room was okay, but the people were fantastic! The manager walked me to dinner in the rain as I was hesitant in the location. Super friendly, and we had a great time!
