Great location. The “destination fee” feels somewhat scammy, doesn’t fit with the rest of the hotel vibe. Large room, clean, friendly staff.

I stayed with 2 colleagues overnight for a business trip. The staff was superb. Roman and Hannah helped accommodate a means for us to work on our project while at the hotel. So grateful for their kindness.
The rooms were well appointed and the lobby cozy with a fire.
