Beautifully decorated setting a very cool ambience. Staff were helpful and friendly. Room was clean and spacious. Close to the downtown. Only minor complaint was there are two buildings connect by a pedestrian- took us a hot minute to find our room but again- very helpful staff saved us! Haha would ...
