Second time staying here and it was as perfect as the first time. Excellent, safe, clean and luxurious. There is a nice little food court with food trucks nearby that was perfect for dinner!

Very interesting rooms but the overall experience suffered due to the poor quality or state of the mattress. It created a very difficult sleep situation for 3 consecutive nights. Very unfortunate.
