I stayed in a room facing away from the Main Street and it was very quiet. The pool area was so nice and also quiet. The breakfast and the staff were really nice especially the two ladies who were waiting on me at breakfast each morning.

The hotel itself and our room was very nice. Absolutely no complaints… BUT there is a club right next door and across the street that seem to rage on until 2 am. The rooms are dark and there’s a white noise machine in each room and earplugs so they’ve definitely done everything they can to help us get the sleep possible. Just feel it’s good to know

It was really convenient to walk most places. It's a loud street, so I wouldn't recommend for those trying to get to bed early, but great for night owls. Rooftop pool was nice. Bed was comfy, pillows were comfy, had everything I needed. I would stay again. I had a little sticker shock at the $400 deposit required at checkin, but I probably didn't read the fine print. Really, the only downside was that the first night, my room smelled pretty strongly like weed, but by the second night it was fine.
