The Vendue

10/10 Excellent
"The Vendue and the Enclave were exceptional and so unique. We enjoyed our stay and the staff and the location of the hotel. The uniqueness of the hotel the floors and rooms were so great just had to stay there when I saw it as a choice when booking rather than a chain hotel. "
