100% worth it- will stay here again

This was a slight splurge and worth every penny! The location was ideal and the lobby and rooms were luxurious and comfortable enough to work from. The decor was impeccable throughout. I enjoyed the included breakfast and also chose to have lunch in their ground level restaurant, which was fantastic. 5 stars all around!

Loved the hotel and area and staff. We are local and this was a surprise night out with my wife. Unfortunately 1 hour after check in our sitter called with an emergency with our child. We had to leave and didn’t get to enjoy our stay. Me and my wife met while working for Marriott. I am not the type to ask for a refund but the hotel was not full and considering we were there such a short period of time it would have been nice if they would have offered a partial refund. I know I would have without question. But as a Marriott Diamond member it would not of even been a question. I would 100% stay again just wish more could have been done during a time of emergency.
