Everything was great! The staff was super sweet, the hotel is adorable, and the bar was nice! I had a black currant old fashioned and it was delicious. We even got free drinks because we booked thru Expedia! It was close to everything you could want too!

Really fantastic hotel. But lots of touch ups needed. The shower was not working properly, and we could hear everything going on in the rooms around us.
