Fully recommend

The hotel itself was great. Lobby was fun and clean. Breakfast was solid. Room was comfortable. Check in and check out were easy. The only isse I encountered was that if you don't leave your room in the morning before 10:00am, they won't clean. Full disclosure, I didn't request it but I also didn't think I needed to. But that was the only issue.
