Incredibly courteous and accommodating staff, perfect location within easy walking distance of the best shops and restaurants, superb cleanliness, the only thing that could have made this better would be staying for free!

Our room was not ready upon our arrival. We were 15 minutes early. We went to the plaza to shop a bit while we waited and got caught in a torrential downpour. Went back to the hotel and our room still was not ready but it was well past check in. We were told 2 minutes wait while they put... More

Very convenient location, charming staff, lovely rooms, excellent food, great bar...what more sould you need??!! Better than the larger CHAIN hotels in the area. Centrally located to adorable Country Club Plaza area.
