Wonder weekend getaway for a couple!
We had an amazing time at the hotel! The suite we had was lovely. I loved the sliding door that had a view of the courtyard. We were able to walk to the concert venue. Plenty of places to eat,drink, and be merry! I have already recommended the hotel to friends and family.
