Very disappointed to be told that there is a nightclub under our room and this went on untill 0230! No mention of this when i booked but was told after payment was taken at check in that it would be " lively " later! Would not have booked had we known this information before arriving! Was offered free coffee in the morning to compensate which i declined as this did not seem like fair compensation. My review will mention this disastrous stay.

Awesome location

Amazing location, awesome bar and restaurant, A++ service at check in. We were 10 minutes from last call for food so the reception host sent us directly into the restaurant to order quick before we finished checking in. So awesome. Food was great, service was great. The inside bar area was huge and full of people playing trivia with a DJ type of host. Great energy. The only negative was the room. We had the apartment style which was kind of behind the main hotel. It was pretty old and outdated and not super comfortable. It wasn't gross, but not super clean either. It was fine for one night. Overall the hotel was great, the room just wasn't.
