The hotel room was extremely clean, and smelled good!! The shower was awesome. The beds were very comfortable as well. Staff at the front desk was so cool with us because we got a lot of DoorDash. And the best part was the beautiful city view, especially at night all the lights. We will definitely stay there again.
