"Large hotel. Everything okay. Only issue is during check in, front desk was not busy with 3 to 4 staff standing by doing nothing but will not check us in. Asked to use self service. Self serve did not work. Ended back at front desk and finally got checked in. Not very courteous and quite frankly rude not willing to help us first time. Most hotel check you in willingly with a smile."

"This was hands down the best hotel I’ve ever stayed at! Everything was perfect, from the incredibly friendly and helpful staff to the amazing range of amenities. The public bath, music room, game room, unlimited drink bar, and self serve pour over coffee station made the entire stay feel extra special. And the room was absolutely gorgeous! It was spacious, beautifully designed, and equipped with everything you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. Every detail made the experience even better.
