The staff were extremely helpful. If we needed anything they helped almost immediately. The shuttle to and from the e airport was heaven sent. The breakfast is the same every day and the quality was not the best. But it is free so can’t complain too much

Very nice and unique hotel. Staff was friendly, breakfast was good, room was spacious with nice tall ceilings, and bed was comfortable. It felt like the hotel could use a refresh (or the refresh in the room’s bathroom was a bit sloppy) and their TV system was very laggy. Nice stay overall though!

This hotel is top notch. We enjoyed our stay. Everything was clean, the decor is so fun, and the staff was very accommodating. The breakfast buffet offered a wide variety, and was easy to access each morning. The only complaint was the parking was across the street in a garage that was not owned by the hotel. I would love easier parking options or valet.
