Overall it was a great stay. We checked in late-after 10pm due to travel and the front desk person was not very welcoming and less than friendly. Thankfully the rest of the staff we encountered while being there were very nice. Property is close to a lot of restaurants and shopping.

Staff was great, super friendly and hospitable. Room was decent-sized and clean! Pillows were super tiny or had lost a lot of stuffing or something. Would prefer an option to choose firmer pillows. Though I never asked, I will next time.
