My stay was ok! The hotel itself is beautiful and clean. The front desk staff were superb. The breakfast wasn’t good. During my stay there were guests outside smoking and rolling up marijuana, playing cards, drinking alcohol and they were extremely loud. I was on the second floor, they were outside in the sitting area and the noise was so disturbing, it woke my children. The vulgar language and loud noise was terrible.
