Beautiful property, very clean, 555 had excellent food and staff was exceptional. The only marginal comment I can make is that the bed wasn’t very comfortable. It was clearly well used as there was an indentation where the majority of clients that have stayed in that room clearly prefer.

My husband and I arrived to The Federal with a warm greeting and beautiful accomendations. We met our relatives for dinner downstairs and everything that was served was excellent. The tomato watermelon gazpacho was to die for! All the staff were super friendly. The beds were comfortable and our room was very clean. I have nothing negative to say except the coffee pot was running low in the morning, but I am sure they took care of that soon after my husband walked away. . Don’t hesitate to book here.

We had never been to this hotel before, so we weren't sure what to expect. We didn't realize that the hotel is literally right off the highway. However, we were pleasantly surprised just how quiet it was in our room which basically faced the highway. On our first night, we ate in the hotel's restaurant. Our immediate arrival did not go well, but after my husband spoke up the staff went above and beyond in trying to make it right. The signature cocktails and food were pricey but very good. Our room was clean and pleasant. The only downside was that the mattress was too hard, but that could be because we are used to a memory foam mattress. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely consider returning.
