"Staff was very friendly and helpful rooms were clean and spacious. One critiques would be bed a little stiff but pillows very comfortable. Bar could use some draft taps or better selection of beers and drinks although there are many other options around the area. Didn't really use any amenities or the free breakfast cause I forgot it was offered!😂 Shout out to Mira and the night staff I would stay here again for sure."
