Overall a good stay but confusing with the amenity fee and very small bathroom!
Pros:

Location great. Staff were overall friendly especially DJ.

Cons:

Rooms are not very soundproof and you can hear through them.
The amenity fee to me is confusing. It should either be optional or just included in the room price. To have to pay for water and wifi seems a little odd. Wifi should be a free thing these days.
The bathroom in the Queen room was very very small! (and I am a small person!)

Cons:

What I didn’t like about the stay was the lack of variety in beverages that were easily available to guests. While water was appreciated, there were times when we wanted other drink options, and because the bar was closed, there wasn’t really a convenient way to get anything else. Adding more accessible beverage options for visitors would definitely improve the overall experience.

Awesome hotel and staff. Great location. Big room.
Pros:

Room was awesome. We had a bedroom. Coffee in room was perfect. Location of hotel was great, and room had a nice street view. We didn't have breakfast but the bar was great. I wish it was open earlier. We were on the last day of work and first day of vacation. Bar was going to open after we left.

Cons:

Nothing, except that minor open bar issue. We loved everything. We wish we could have stayed another day or so.
