This stay is more for someone who is staying overnight not really for a staycation for the amenities. There is barely a proper and tasty breakfast, lunch and dinner option. The food is kinda poor quality and is premade as well. I would say that there were a lot of things missing in the room like hand stains on windows, missing chrome cast option for TV and after speaking with the hotel they never followed up.

Room wasn’t ready when I arrived after stated check-in time. Ok that happens. Once I got into my room about 15 minutes later, the room was dirty with a puddle of water in the middle of the floor, loose candy strewn about a closet shelf, a dirty sink, and clumps of lint on two different surfaces on opposite sides of the room. The person I spoke with was apologetic and waived a resort access fee…

This is my "go-to" for staycations with my husband. Rooms are small but not cramped. We splurged on a larger room this time and were not disappointed. The rooftop is a chill spot to hang out, the restaurants are tasty, but the small portions may not be satisfying for some. The courtyard is nice when you want a little outside without wandering, but the addition of the carousel definitely detracts from the atmosphere. I'm always so surprised to see families checking in because this is really a sexy space. But I couldn't hear anything in my room, and hopefully no one could hear us!
