I think I gave a review, the shower smelled and that was the only problem, the cleaning women tried to clean it. It just needs recorking. The people are friendly and receptive. If your looking for large rooms this isn't the place but they do a really good job providing what you will need with a little extra along the way. This place doesn't have a space where you can work so know this beforehand. I think this property is a gem for what they deliver.

New construction, clean and modern. Very quiet. Friendly helpful staff - they checked our bags for a couple of hours after we checked out. Only complaint - extremely small room. Adequate for one person but so small two people had to take turns when getting off the bed to walk anywhere in the room.

First time to stay here. Well maintained, easy to access location, nice room if a bit barebones. They do not provide hiusekeeping except by request so expect to ask for that. The restaurant, Margeux, was excellent and hopping with activity for dinner.
