amazing birthday surprise!

helpful staff surprise decorations welcome drink central location

The hotel super nice team, even when i had to reschedule due to storms. They rearranged my stay with no problems! staff decorated the room with balloons, cards, bubbly, and chocolates. It was such a thoughtful surprise. i loved the complimentary welcome drink they offered to all guests between 5 and 6 pm. the location is central for restaurants, bars, and attractions!

I wish there was an on-site restaurant for breakfast. Finding a place with my family each morning was a bit challenging.
