Staff were nice and helpful, our ride stopped across the hotel entrance, and the bellboy already came over to us to help with our luggage. They allowed us to check in early when the room became available. The location was perfect, everything you need is nearby. You can even walk to some major attractions, very impressive. Room is super clean and spacious. Mini fridge available. The slippers they provided in the room are very comfortable. Bathroom is spacious and has a bathtub, they have bath salt for you. Nice hotel overall, would recommend.
