Love the rooms , decor and location. 2nd time we have reserved a rooftop room. On both occassions we were not told there was a wedding happening and so we were not able to enjoy the rooftop views. For the price of the rooms, I feel we have been made aware of this. Front desk staff seemed lazy- no TP in main floor bathroom . But hotel is in an excellent location hotel is unique and beautiful.
