The property is well located and the staff is what made it great. Diana at the bar was amazing and walked our cocktails to our room when checking in. She mentioned our room didn't look up to par and so they comped a round of drinks and helped us get upgraded the next day. Gabby at the front desk was amazing and she was so helpful when we ran into a mechanical issue and had the staff move our rooms
