We had a wonderful stay but do know that the ladders to the bunk beds are bolted to the walls and are not too easy to get on the beds from. Incredible stay otherwise and definitely recommend!!!

The property has an excellent location. The property appeals to a younger crowd and gets busy and noisy. Housekeeping has glitches. Unlimited free bottled water was an excellent treat.

I had very high hopes for this hotel as it is in a great location and had solid reviews. However, our stay was the worst experience I have ever had while staying in a hotel. I don’t say this lightly, nor have I ever complained about a stay. The AC in the room we were originally in was broken, and then after relocating - that ac system also did not work. The carpets were absolutely filthy, and there were multiple hairs on the pillows as we arrived. We did not complain about the hairs bc we had just got relocated to a different room due to ac issues. The mini fridge was moldy, the phone in our room also did not work. We stayed on the fourth floor, and the noise from the club in the hotel was so loud, we might as well have been in it. This went on until 4:10am. When I called the front desk to ask if there was anything he could do about the noise, he gave so much pushback and was extremely rude. Again, I hate complaining or being a burden in anyway, but this hotel experience was abysmal and an absolute disappointment. I travel a lot, and this was the worst stay I have ever had.
