Reviewer Type: Couple
Travel Purpose: leisure
Positive: Location and the staff made our stay perfect. We stayed a few nights as part of our honeymoon, and there was a bottle of wine waiting on ice when we checked in. The rooms were a great size and the restaurants were lovely. That sunset from Nest will always be a core memory!
Summary: We loved our stay at The Lofts, and would definitely come back!
