8.8/10 Excellent! (908 reviews)
The staff here was absolutely amazing! We were greeted by the sweetest female concierge. I'm so sorry I forgot her name. However, if for some reason she's not around, everyone was super pleasant, gave great recommendations and were always available for any questions we had.
Rooms were very clean and pretty spacious. The bathroom was very nice.
Breakfast in the morning had alot of options as well.
Overall, we would definitely return!
