Writing this review makes me almost want to go back and change some of my others. Can I give this place an 11? Because if I can, I will. Many things here are on the house, and it's a very good thing: Wireless internet, breakfast, happy hour (with appetizers)and business center. Great start, right?
Ok, onto the rooms. They were a great size and well decorated. Their bath products? Aveda! I was in heaven! You can also bring your pups at no extra charge, which made me so happy! Their employees were all perfect: Friendly, full of suggestions and just so sweet, which is huge in my book.
