Overall a great stay. We went on a Saturday evening during the holidays so as expected, it was very busy. The staff was very polite and helpful throughout the night. The room was clean, with lots of snacks and a mini bar. The only downside we really had was limited outlets which is not a big deal. 10/10 would recommend.

The hotel and staff were all wonderful. We ate 2 meals in the diner, both times the meals for each person were delivered up to 30 minutes apart. The restaurant was completely out of seriously basic items (potatoes, onion rings…) and getting water to the table took 15 minutes. The condiment bottles on the table were empty. Both times. Ex servers notice these things. But we’ll return and hope they have better organization.

Food was 10 out of 10 FANTASTIC, the eggs Benedict and the banana French toast was mind blowing. The hand crafted cocktails were ridiculously good. The customer service was very professional and I felt that all my needs were met. I will definitely be coming back.
