The view and the staff are the best parts of this hotel. The beds are extremely lumpy and uncomfortable and the walls are so thin you can hear your neighbors talking with normal inside voices. The rooms need updating as well. Our couch had stuffing coming out of a hole and there was dust and dirt in the corners. The floors were dirty as well. Will not return.
