10/10 Excellent
"Super clean room! The Valet and housekeeper were soo helpful. The housekeeper made up the fold out bed for my little one, then she brought us a bag of ice and she brought us pool towels. She was sooo kind. The room was so clean and the hotel was in the perfect spot in the downtown. Breakfast was good. I liked the potatoes best!!! Great stay"
