Below are the verified reviews from guests that we have booked recently:"What I expected."
Overall Score5.0/ 5
Directions to get from building to building are generally good. However, a sign should be visible right when you come in from parking on level three showing which way the Langdon building walkway is located. People are a bit confused. Just an observation. Great hotel.
