We were traveling with famly members that stayed across the street. I'm not sure why we were seperated. They have a few "extra" ammenities but possibly they paid more. We were a bit confused but it turned out to be fine.

The Vendue and the Enclave were exceptional and so unique. We enjoyed our stay and the staff and the location of the hotel. The uniqueness of the hotel the floors and rooms were so great just had to stay there when I saw it as a choice when booking rather than a chain hotel.

Great location. Very attentive and friendly staff. This hotel definitely needs an upgrade. Rooms not in the best of condition. Creeky wooden floor was really annoying.Breakfast was nothing to speak about just a banana, apple and muffin delivered in a bag.

We love the charm & convenience of this hotel. The rooftop bar is always great. My one comment is the lobby of the main hotel. The gallery they have created is not warm & inviting. Too bright with no comforting seating. Feels like an art gallery instead of a lobby. Not warm & inviting.
