"This hotel is truly wonderful. Rooms, bar, restaurant, and amenities were all excellent. Coffee is offered mornings near each elevator. One unfortunate exception was that one elevator was not working and we understood that it hadn’t been working for some time. Not a deal breaker however and I will stay there again as it is conveniently located and otherwise excellent."
