9.6/10 Exceptional! (1,001 reviews)
Nice brewery theme, nothing special. The shower floor is very sloped and slick when wet. We stayed 2 nights total, 1 week apart. The first night we had a dinner reservation, host was unable to locate it, ended up with a terrible table location which they would not change. Second night no reservation but it was not busy, still took a long time to get seated. Host stand seems to be very disorganized. The host was standing around the bar talking while several groups were waiting to be seated. Food was average. Servers were decent. The parking lot is quite a distance from the hotel entrance, pack light as you will be carrying everything quite a distance. Breakfast is included but does not start until at least 7am.
