Overall Score5.0/ 5
We loved this place, the service was amazing. Booked the Presidential Suite for post rehearsal dinner socializing and had it up until the wedding reception started the following day. It worked out great to babysit kids and as a hospitality suite to get the families together for cocktails and breakfast the day of the big event. Make sure you introduce yourself to Mathew the day bellman and Mike the night bellman upon arrival, the rest of your stay will be a breeze.
