Very disappointed in our stay. The bed had dark hair all over on the sheets when I went to get in it for the night (everyone in our party has blonde hair). We moved rooms which was less than ideal at 10 pm. There were garbage trucks of some sort of constant beeping from 6am to 7 outside of the hotel. The hotel itself has a great vibe and is super cool. Just the cleanliness and loud noises ruined the stay. Not how I wanted to ring in my 50th birthday. :/
