The staff were very accommodating and friendly. The room was super clean and had a pretty view.
The only downside of our stay was that the WiFi was working once we got in the room. We left to get dinner and when we came back it kept saying it’s not connected.

The location was great, along with the entrance/lobby was beautiful.
The room did not represent a 4 star hotel. There was a huge chip (1x2 in the bathroom countertop and another in the bedside table which the drawer did not open by design. All in all. A standard run of the mill hotel room. Parking was $100/night
