The breakfast and staff were amazing. I don’t know if we just happened to be there at the wrong time but there were sirens and crowds of people (like hundreds) yelling outside constantly from 11pm-3am. It’s no fault of the hotel, but we didn’t sleep at all. Everything else was great. Comfy beds, great food, very friendly staff. Not a ton of parking but we did snag a great spot.
