"The rooms were very nice and updated. The family rooms were fantastic. The one we stayed in was at the corner of the building so we had great views on both sides with the floor to ceiling windows. The only downside was the lack of a safe in the room but overall the hotel felt secure and safe. The staff was wonderful. We will definitely be revisiting on our next trip."
