The rooms were nice and clean. But it just wasn’t something I was looking for. I wanted something higher end that wasn’t catered to mainly business people. It would be a good place to stay for someone who was traveling alone but it wasn’t ideal for a family stay.

The staff was great. It’s always nice to feel like you’re important. From the moment I walked into the hotel that’s how they made feel. We had dinner on the rooftop. And the service there was also great. The one downside though was the dessert’s. Great dinner but the dessert options were a little lacking.
