We loved the hotel's fantastic location, which allowed us to easily stroll to great restaurants and boutique shops. The staff were attentive and friendly, and we appreciated the thoughtful little goodie bags they provided. The pool, open until midnight, was a highlight for us, especially with the designated adult swim hour.
