A beautiful hotel with great amenities at decent rate. I'd stay here again. The only down side is that you have to pay for parking.

Stay here! You will love it
This hotel is so beautiful and the customer service was excellent. The restaurant food was excellent! Our family really enjoyed ourselves. The rooms were so nice and clean, I just wish my view was not a parking lot. Other than that, this was a wonderful experience and I would recommend everyone I know to stay here.
