Was surprisingly bigger than I thought. Very friendly and welcoming. If I get the chance, I'll certainly stay again. Your bar area was not open though and I would have liked to have a cocktail or two before or even after visiting with friends. Perhaps next time? Thank you.

Floor number designations are very confusing. The 1st floor label on the elevator is actually the rooms with 200 #. You get on the elevator, press the 2nd floor button, and the doors open to the 3rd floor. There is no 3rd floor button in the elevator. Very confusing. I ran into another couple that was as confused as me. The desk clerk tried to explain, but it still made no sense. It would be very difficult for 1st responders
