Front desk employees were super friendly and accommodating. We will definitely stay again. I would like to say however that the info on Orbitz needs to be updated. It says there is a sauna. That is a big reason we chose this hotel. According to the front desk staff, it has been gone since 2019. I was not able to locate a rooftop garden either.
