Traveled with my 10 and 12 year old on a Sunday and Monday night. The hotel staff saw us when they assigned us the room 212. Everything looked good until 930 pm and we found our we were over the bar and outdoor patio. Like, literally over the bar. The music and vibrations came through each night till past 1am. This repeated on Monday. No way the front desk didnt know the room was over the bar. Stay away from this hotel if you want sleep.

I had really high hopes for this property but upon returning to my room for the evening as soon as I walked through the door I see a roach on the floor . Then I turn the lights on and I see a roach on the sink. Due to this I cannot give this anything higher than a 2 star. Check in was great the front desk person was super nice even though she had a line through the lobby she didn’t look frantic and gave everyone the time of day. That’s why I couldn’t give this place a 1 star .
