Stay was great! The room was nice and clean! Staff was super helpful! The only complaint would be the service at the restaurant. We went to get some apps and drinks and we were there for 2 hours because the waitress did not check up on us at all. We kept having to go to the bartenders to ask them to assist because the waitress didn’t come over to refill our waters or see if we needed anything. I would definitely stay at this hotel again and recommend this spot to others but I would not eat at the restaurant again if I came back.
