10/10 Excellent
"The hotel was amazing and far exceeded our expectations. At check-in Tracy was fantastic. Our room was spacious for a family of four. The hotel was clean and well maintain. It was in walking distance of everything we wanted to see which was nice. Later on the evening Tracy acted as our bartender and again was fabulous. Wish we were spending a second night. "
