How this is written: we run the full set of recent Google reviews through AI to pull out what guests consistently say — including the complaints, which is why there's a downsides list rather than only the good bits. It's rewritten as new reviews come in, so it describes the hotel as it is now, not as it was whenever someone last got round to writing a paragraph about it. Read the reviews yourself on Google Maps.

We often go for Sunday Brunch. Usually there are 3 other couples and at least 3 kids, ages 9 through 2. Sometimes there are a couple of regulars. We have wonderful conversations, a very diverse group with life experiences that could curl your toes. Stratus is the best. Veronica, the best. Carlie Browns struggled during and after the pandemic. So happy everything is back to smooth sailing. There is a piano bar and characters aplenty. Lots can really sing. This isn't karaoke, it's like a party at your house. Come over for their signature shot, "The Greek Assassin". I have never stayed in the hotel and don't even know anything about it. Thanks for reading.

I've been going to Charlie Brown's for Sunday breakfast for more than 20 years. I have introduced a dozen or so friends to the place and they are all regulars also. Great food always.
