“In my opinion, the property sometimes struggles with noise issues, but what stands out is the exceptional service; staff seem genuinely committed to creating a positive experience for guests. Birthdays are celebrated with unexpected, personal touches, reflecting a level of attentiveness I find quite rare. When things go well, I think it makes for a memorable stay.”

The room had cool decor. Beds were VERY comfortable. The hotel welcomes dogs and provides loads of covered outdoor space to eat and drink.

Saturdays are even louder. The volume and vibration throughout the building was extreme. Earplugs provided offered NO relief.
