This property had a fun young vibe. I enjoyed the pool and the happy hour. The breakfast was very good at the restaurant upstairs. I did not understand the point of the cafe downstairs. It was completely overpriced for what they had. I liked our room. We had a double with a huge shower. My only thought was that it would be better if they had more drawers available and a microwave We did not notice that there was a microwave in the cafe until the day we left. The other thing was finding the ice was kind of weird. There was limited signage to really indicate where it was. It was in a hidden door on our floor. Overall, we enjoyed our experience and the staff was amazing.
