“The 1920's Art Deco design creates a memorable first impression, which extends to the well-maintained rooms and comprehensive breakfast sourced from local providers. It strikes me as a versatile venue, equally suited for business conferences and family occasions with dedicated event planning.

The breakfast was acceptable.

The bar's early closing at 10:30 PM was annoying. Apparently, my presence wasn't enough to keep it open. The thin walls were also a joke. I could hear everything from that loud family next door all night. Seriously?
