Staying at this hotel was a lovely experience. The room, although missing a shower like the Olive Room in the Territorial suite, was large, beautifully furnished, open, airy, and brought a smile to my face. The service was outstanding, especially when they provided us with another room due to a canceled flight. The location was perfect, close to everything while offering a quiet atmosphere. The dining entrees were like works of art, though a bit heavy for breakfast. Overall, a great value for money.
