The hotel is really a gem in a lovely and quiet suburb not too far from the vibrant Honky Tonk Highway. The rooms were absolutely gorgeous, clean, and quiet, offering a tranquil stay. The service was top-notch, making me feel truly welcomed. However, while the dining experience was delightful, a bit more variety in menu options would have been perfect. The location is excellent, set in a historical neighborhood, adding a charming touch to the stay.
