The Surety is our home away from home with an attentive, caring, and professional staff as well as amenities that you find at larger chain hotels without the uptick in room rate. The in-dining restaurant has an outstanding menu and bar for a business lunch or cocktail after work. If you haven’t stayed at the Surety, you should!
