The location was perfect for us jumping around town. We loved being all the way at the end of the hall and our suite was very quiet. The view from the room was great, especially with the ice on the trees!
The slippers could have been closed toed and the TV bigger, but at this point it's just nitpicking, this place was awesome.

Great location in the middle of everything, but maintains a quiet atmosphere. Loved the fireplace inside the hotel bar, read a book and had an afternoon drink. Then enjoyed the fireplace outside playing cards and cocktails. Loved it!
