You couldn't ask for a better location. Everything you would want to do is in walking distance. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We enjoyed the extra benefits of cocktail hour and evening cookies were the absolute BEST!

    “The reviews don't lie! This was my first time at FQI and it was fabulous. I was on a two day business trip with a colleague. The hotel location, condition and staff were all fabulous. Only minor snafu was in the fitness room, two Pelotons, neither connected to the internet and no water avail. But everything else outstanding!”
