Loved staying here.
"I loved the decor. An old bank converted to a hotel, they kept the dark wood and elegance. I felt like I was staying in an upscale law firm. The staff was attentive. In the morning they had a coffee bar with some breakfast items. I didn't try the restaurant. It was a bit pricey."
