8/10 Very good

Great couples stay
The staff at the front desk were wonderful as was the bartender at the martini bar. Only negative was the soaps/shampoo/conditioner in the rooms smelled terrible - to the point where I did not want to use it. Everything else was great and we'll just bring our own shampoo, etc. next time.

Great place. Had a cold with congestion. They have a steam room that help clear me up, and a fireplace in the room to make it cozy. Great restaurants in walking distance. Parking garage across the street. Everything a guy could need.
