Great location, very clean rooms and good value!
Pros:

Beds were comfortable. Great rooftop restaurant!

Cons:

There should be posted signs about children not being in the hot tub. There were parents totally ignoring their kids as one jumped in and splashed us in the hot tub.

BWCI is a great Hotel with a great restaurant/bar on location. Our room was large, clean and super comfy. The friendly staff was always ready to help with anything we asked. Can't beat the location.
