Hotel is very clean. Pablo was amazing and made our stay worth it. Friendly service and suggestions for locations to eat were a good help. Only down fall is pictures are not clear I purchased room assuming patio was the view that is depicted on the site hoping to catch the fire works for the Fourth of July. Was told that roof top terrace is only for penthouse suite not general public. Balcony in room is just a window very small space not enough for a chair or two people to stand out on. Also note there will be a $350 hold on your card for each not for incidentals. Room was clean just like pictures. Cool for a quick stay
