I forgot how much I love this hotel. It was close to where we needed to be for the tournament, the lobby was super impressive and classy. The Whiskey Bar was a super cool experience with knowledgeable staff. The rooms were clean, the shower worked well, the beds seemed fresh and really comfortable. Everything was right where we needed it. We didn't try the restaurant because we got there a little late for the kitchen but it looked very inviting. Staff were pleasant and professional - and efficient. Definitely recommend this hotel. Free parking was a huge plus for the 10 of us staying. Having pet friendly rooms was huge too.
