10/10 Excellent
"The room with the balcony was absolutely beautiful. Spacious and super clean! It was also very quiet which made for peaceful nights of sleep. Fuego was a great place to spend for happy hour and dinner. Great service from the bartenders even though there were so many customers. One suggestion I have would be to have a free coffee station set up in the lobby for hotel guests - especially for when people have to check out prior to Fuego opening at 7am. All in all, it was a great stay and the hotel is located in a great location. Hope to be back again one day !"
