Perhaps the best hotel we stayed in US, even beats most of the 5-star hotels. The room is large and spacious, the bathroom has walk-in show stall which is almost hard to find in U.S., something already a household feature for many decades. The staff are friendly and helpful and the location is simply perfect.

Parking was so easy, expected to need to search the streets for a space but they have a parking lot and spaces available. Was a little dubious about how nice the room would be from the pictures but we were blown away, was so fresh and clean, north building looked like it had just been built, wish we had time to stay longer, whole area was clean and lovely to walk around at night
