The staff was very helpful and nice, breakfast was decent, the hotel was clean, they had a safe in the room, the showers were decent and had great water pressure, and the location was absolutely excellent. The AC also worked very well in our room.
The downsides were slow WiFi and one of the most uncomfortable beds I've ever slept in. I really wanted to reduce my rating of this place based off the bed being one of the worst beds I've ever slept on, but decided not to.
