Great service, low quality towels.

The hotel was extremely helpful with early check in. With an early flight, we were able drop our bags in the room and adventure out. The towels could have been much nicer. These towels were old with holes and mismatched. For the price I paid for 4 nights… I was expecting better.

The hotels lobby is extremely fun and well kept. However, the rooms were an entirely different experience. The room was dirty and had zero storage. We didn’t even have a chair. Not to mention that housekeeping is not performed daily. The bathroom doors have no locks and the shower has no shelves for toiletries. Overall, I would have preferred a different hotel given the abundance of options in the area.
