"Vibrant hotel w/ great customer service at bell stand and front desk."

We have stayed there before, so it felt like going home to neighborhood friends. Greatly appreciated the shuttle service and tour buses. All of the staff inside and outside of the hotel were friendly, fun and helpful. They did a terrific job with all of the reunions and weddings that were in progress ! Housekeeping responded quickly when more supplies were needed. Paula at the front desk and Bella were very welcoming. "Mike" is an outstanding "bell captain." Thank you for an excellent stay ! (The location is terrific.).
