The only real issue was the mattress. It could be a better quality but overall we were very happy with our stay. The bar staff were very friendly, especially Robert. He was definitely fun to hang out with. Even after work..lol It was a great location, easy access to everything and a lot of fun. We would definitely recommend this place to friends and family.
