Had a great experience! Nicole at the bar and food did amazing and was super nice!! Only thing was the wifi was a bit tedious, you have to reinput the information in every single time you come back from exiting the hotel, and the parking was a little tough just cause there were some bigger trucks parked on the sides overnight and had some trouble squeezing in, but nothing bad at all! Would stay again :)
