Decent hotel for an event with great views. The location is a bit inconvenient if you don’t have a car, there’s plenty of restaurants within walking distance but the property is entirely fenced in except for the main entrance meaning you have to circle the entire property to be able to leave from the other side where the nicer part of town is. Rooms were clean and spacious but not soundproofed, easy to hear your neighbors especially in the bathrooms.
