6/10 Good

The location was great, and the staff was very friendly. We also enjoyed the amenities and appreciated being able to grab fresh towels on our way out each day. My biggest issue, though, was the mattress. I had a hard time getting a good night’s sleep and often woke up with aching hips. If the beds were more comfortable, our stay would have been much better overall.

Staff was rad! Bartender was super chill. Only complaint I was right over the bar so snooze was a bit weak. I’m sure any other room was way better. Just the luck of the draw. Definitely recommend this place.
