8/10 Good
"The hotel is in the absolute perfect area with multiple entries! It has great views, a peaceful courtyard with tons of games for families! It offers places on every floor to refill your water bottles for free. The room was clean and a good size. They even have a little breakfast trailer for the morning that was convenient. My only complaints is the staff didn’t tell me any of this I had to figure everything out on my own, and the trailer had new people I guess so they double charged me and then gave me the wrong order. They also messed up the order of the people in front of us. So it was a good experience not excellent because the staff wasn’t informative about anything in the hotel all they said was here is your room key and we need a card to charge the amenity fees and the “breakfast staff” didn’t know what that we’re doing."
