The room was clean and the property nice and tidy. The staff were pleasant but not very warm. Pool area was lovely. I wish there was better soundproofing on the street side rooms, even with the white noise machine it was unbearable. For a loud street it really needs some more thought.

We had a wonderful experience at this hotel. We booked a room with a balcony and it was cozy and spacious. It was very clean and the bathroom was a perfect size for our two night stay. The staff were so kind and attentive. They greeted us from the moment we arrived and the valet staff were also amazing. My only complaint is that due to us being there on halloween weekend of was definitely very noisy outside and unfortunately the noise was a little tough to sleepy through but that’s not their fault and it’s understandable. We will definitely be staying here again I’ll just bring some melatonin gummies next time.
