Philip, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Area was great, close to everything and easy to get there by walking. Pictures were slightly deceiving as it looked more well kept and clean than it actually was. The staff was amazing and the restaurant connected was the best part, amazing food.

Great location and staff, easy parking, excellent for shopping and dining options. It can however be a bit loud on the weekend nights. We also had some issues with shower water pressure.
