“I noted a cool vibe with the downstairs bar and easy access to live music and dining across the street; also, the staff's friendliness stood out. This feels like a place for adventure, given its tours and 60-acre property, paired with the comforts of fully renovated rooms and even penthouse apartments. It's an interesting combination of charm and activity.”
