The room was spotless, and the bartender was incredibly friendly, which made me feel especially comfortable as a solo traveler. I felt completely safe and truly loved every aspect of the hotel. The bed was very comfortable, the shower had excellent water pressure, and the drinks were fantastic. The valets and front desk staff were all extremely warm and welcoming. I will absolutely be staying here again.

The Hotel no longer cleans rooms unless you make a specific request. My room was quiet, with a view of a blank fence. There is often no staff around and the service in the restaurant is extremely slow. Because it is a wedding/party venue it can be very very noisy late into the night and there is trash on the porch in the morning. It used to be a nicer place.
