Peaceful Stay with Excellent Service

genuine kindnesscomplimentary accessthoughtful spa team
The staff showed genuine kindness and care when we returned to the hotel after a car accident. They reassured us that we could stay as long as needed and offered complimentary access to the spa. The spa team checked in on us and offered drinks on the house. We appreciated this level of hospitality during a difficult time.
I found the hotel to feel somewhat corporate, which detracted slightly from a more personal experience.
