Felt so homey and the staff was spectacular! Only downside to this hotel was that they didn't have any laundry services or microwaves to heat up food, as guests who stayed multiple nights we ordered extra food from the restaurant then ended up wasting quite a bit.

The hotel was great. We normally stay at hotels that have a microwave but they did not have one in the room. Also, you had to go to the front desk for ice instead of readily available. The room itself was gorgeous and clean. We loved the mid-century vibe. We stayed in one of the train cars for our honeymoon, so this was a totally different experience.

We liked the location close to the free shuttle that takes you around town and runs about every10 min. The rooms were a little dark to our liking. We appreciated the sparkling mineral water. Everything was clean and bed comfortable. Close to a lot of good restaurants. We tried to check in an hour early and were told we would be texted when our room ready. Unfortunately it wasn’t ready until about 20 min after regular check in time. It was a hot day and we really were looking forward to checking into room and cooling off. I would probably recommend the hotel but just barely 4 stats.
