Do not stay here. The room was not clean; there were hair all over the bathroom and coffee cups had coffee spots on them. The water was turned off in our room for the morning we were leaving. When I called the front desk, they rudely told me to just use the gym's locker room.

Would definitely stay again!
The hotel was great, the staff was friendly, location is wonderful. Food, meh. Very expensive, not good (breakfast), they fill up your coffee cups and then charge you $5 a cup, even when you didn’t ask for or drink coffee. I would definitely stay again, just not partake in the restaurant feature of the hotel. Everything else was great!

Everyone was friendly, specially Juan the bartender. Only complaint are the beds, they are so uncomfortable, it gave me back pain, same for my husband. Also I stayed in a deluxe king bed, the lighting is not good and mirrors are super high if you want to sit and do your makeup there’s some room for improvement there.
