Beds comfortable, dinning great, love happy hour, would like breakfast during the week to be open earlier since we did day tours outside of city. Lobby was terrible, no coffee bar to take on the go and no trash receptacles inside or out. Could not get breakfast in our room. Staff was great and welcoming.
