It was decent for a night. There was a lot of noise. If you like partying than its good for you but not for peace and quiet! The hotel needs more remodeling but it was pretty clean and the customer service was very nice and friendly.

It is such a fantastic view from my room, super clean, great amenities, comfy bed. The only mild criticism is they are out of regular coffee. Many people are coffee addicts and rely on regular coffee to wake up! Luckily I travel with some instant, so I poured a little into the delicious decaf Starbucks ;) This is very small. This is such a nice place and a really lovely staff.
