Property is well designed and rooms are beautiful. Everything was great except the bed is against the window in the room I had so for one person it's fine but for two it would be really inconvenient.

Alright place

The walls are super thin. We could hear everything outside in the hallway and from the rooms surrounding ours. We barely got any sleep because we could hear everything. Also there’s no way to turn off the closet light. There are no switches to turn it off. It was on all the time, even with the closet doors completely closed, and was shining through the creaks of the closet the entire time we were there. The shower was really confusing because even when the knob was on cold, the water was super hot.

I liked the construction of the building. The amenities in the room were spot on, everything we needed was available. Loved the shower, the pour through coffee maker, comfortable bed and pillows, big screen tv, blackout shade, storage. Especially enjoyed El Nico for a bite or meal and it's location on top of the hotel. Love that they accept dogs also.
