The hotel has one restaurant. Open 9-2pm only. Couldn’t even get some coffee to our room (and they only had just drip) before they opened.

The staff was so polite and helpful. I made a last second change to my reservation and they were able to help me. My wife left her Apple Watch in her room after we checked out and they called us and were able to help us get it back. I loved the room and the location. We will be coming back to stay again!!!
