The Dakota was a well appointed place to visit. We liked the bar, the rooms were great and you can walk to a couple of restaurants if you need something different.

The hotel is great, what was not good last night was that there was no warning the restaurant was closed for a few days and also that there was no breakfast , all on a night when it was freezing temps and snow !
