It was a cool experience. However, for the price we can do better. A luxury experience should include to door room service experience. Additionally, the drains need cleaning. Lastly, house keeping should be more quiet.

Overall a really nice hotel with great staff and a really good breakfast. The parking is $25 a night and the lots can get full but whenever we needed to park we were able to find a spot. The room itself was nice but there were a few little spots that needed some TLC, especially in the bathroom. But the bed was clean and comfortable and it was close to a few shops and restaurants so the location was great.
