We came to see a performer play. The hotel was clean, bed comfy, and the staff were lovely. Nico, serving at the bar was an absolute delight. I encourage anyone coming in after a day out to stop by for a delicious beverage and excellent company. He gave us plenty of excellent advice for our stay.

The room was very comfortable. A magnified mirror in the bathroom would be so appreciated. It’s time to redo the lobby to combine check-in with an inviting lounge with some good bar food. This could also include your breakfast area. Get a designer in to accomplish this. Your staff are woefully uninformed about regional parking and price.

Room was clean and a decent size. It’s a large property so it always took awhile to get from the parking lot to the room. Thankfully there are four elevators from the lobby so we usually didn’t have to wait long for one. Parking was expensive and we were extremely disappointed that the pool was closed. The room had two small fridges but no microwave or safe. There was water available in the lobby and in the gym which was very nice in a hot climate.
