"Reception person was so very phenomenal and the rooms were super spacey and luxurious feeling! I wish they had a few more amenities like a pool, hot tub, happening bar etc. good location. Staff for breakfast were kind enough but not super friendly if this makes sense. Hard to get refills on coffee, creamer, etc. overall super pleased with our trip!"
