Scene
Casual decor and a relaxed atmosphere for tourists and some business travelers
This brick and stone hotel is has a low-key atmosphere, geared mainly toward tourists but it attracts its share of business travelers as well. The spacious, two-story lobby is bright and airy, with a striking stone design resembling a waterfall accenting a wall near the front desk. Clusters of comfy leather and upholstered seating provide inviting places to sit, and stainless steel artwork in sunburst patterns reinforce the modern and appealing motif. The lobby continues into the breakfast room, which has plenty of seating but gets quite congested at times, particularly when the tour groups who often stay here arrive en masse to dine.
