My family recently spent 2 nights here and really enjoyed our stay. The air conditioning worked perfectly and our room was clean as well. Sugo, which is the restaurant inside of this hotel was absolutely phenomenal. I'll definitely be staying here the next time I'm in town. Be aware that you will need to bring a cooler as there is not a fridge in these rooms.
