It made me wish we had an extra day to explore more of our surroundings. My pre-teen daughter and her friend enjoyed the loft area and had it to themselves. There was plenty of space, and the fact that each room had its own temperature controls allowed everyone to sleep at a temperature that suited them."

"The only complaint I had was that we had to wait until after 4:30 pm to get into our room. The lady at the front desk was great, and they had shortages of cleaning staff. I didn't see any Hispanic ladies working. One wonders if this is the outcome of an ICE-rooted climate of fear."
