Super clean. My son loved being able to change the color of the lights. Very cool. It would be nice if they had a little bit more flexibility with check-in times though. The flights get in early and you are a bit stuck. They did store our bags for us though so we could go see some stuff. Everyone was super friendly.

This property is nice, modern and very clean in a convenient location. Check-in and parking are very confusing. Given the nature of their self check-in, the front desk tends to be unattended. I found myself waiting much longer than I should have on multiple occasions for service. At multiple points the front desk attendant was behind the bar chatting with patrons and not paying attention. The service at the bar isn’t the best either, long waits while staff freely chats with patrons, but they’re very friendly. The drinks and loaded nachos are delicious! The rooms are deceivingly small in their website photos. Be prepared for a literal cruise ship cabin. If you’re staying with more than one in a room it’ll be very crowded and the bathroom lacks privacy as the walls are glass. Beds are comfy, though! Now that I know what to expect, I’d stay here again.

Property was nice and the quality of the hotel was good. Not a ton of privacy in the room as we were facing another room across us in the courtyard. Descriptions of rooms should be more accurate when checking in.
