Great experience
Room was excellent,bed was very soft along with pillows which is a plus. Room was very clean,shower was clean. My only gripe out of the whole experience is I wish the bar stayed open longer then 10PM. The overnight front desk lady was extremely nice and helpful.

It was a fun stay. The only thing I would change is the breakfast is very expensive for what you get but other than that it was a great day.
