    “The location was excellent! So close to everything. The style, vibe and decor of the hotel is great and so cool! Welcome drink at arrival was nice. Bar area is really pretty. Nice front desk people. Room was nice but small. We had a corner window so that was great. Check in and out was very easy.”
