8/10 Good
"The staff was very friendly and helpful. I had at least brief encounters with desk staff, manager, house keeping, maintenance, bar/restaurant, and security. Everyone was extremely friendly. However my room was not ready when I arrived but I did arrive early. When I came back several hours later after check in time my room was still not ready. After about another hour I was able to get in my room. They did hold my luggage for me and compensate me with a small bag of treats. This minor set back did cause me to miss a schedule event though. All in all a good place to stay in a nice area with plenty of restaurants within walking distance"
