Excellent hotel and location. We'll be back!

Pros: Staff were helpful. We had a dog with us and they set up breakfast and dinner in area where we could take our dog. Dinner was excellent in Aspects restaurant, and the service was also great. The facilities were excellent, and very clean.

Cons: The breakfast was only small negative. The bacon was left in a water, and just didn't feel cooked enough, for me anyway. Although there was a lot of choice for breakfast, it did feel like the food was almost secondary and didn't really do the the rest of the visit justice.
