i was not happy with the breakfast options. it felt less than what i expect. also, the peloton bike in the gym it didn't worked. i was hoping for a great workout, but this machine let me down. the spa area closed so early, around 10am. this limited the time me and my friend had to use it before checkout, so we were very sad.

Really good Spa and Suite Upgrade

suite upgrade relaxing atmosphere friendly staff

The upgrade to a suite was a good surprise, it. This upgrade proved perfect as a pre-wedding treat for my daughters and me. The spa stood out for its beauty and relaxing atmosphere. The staff showed attention to detail, this created a friendly and relaxed environment.

The chaos of on-street parking was a bit stressful at first, but the concierge service (which i only learned about later) was fabulous.
