"Things they don't tell you. - Only one $$$ restaurant and a $$ sports bar that did have a wide assortment of food but no kid friendly options. - Gym is on the 4th floor. (21years and over) was convinced for most of our trip that they did not have one. However, even if I was aware of it, my 17 year old would not have been allowed in. - And finally, the pool is only 21 and over. My kid was extremely upset that they were not allowed at the pool. Something they had been specifically looking forward to all week. So overall the hotel may allow kids to sleep there, but it is not kid friendly as advertised. My kids are 17 and 10 just for reference."

"The bed is too soft. Hard time falling asleep. "

"There was only one person working in the front which was frustrating. The line to check in was out the door and the app wasn’t working. The free bikes were a nice touch. Beautiful property and walking distance to restaurants, shops, etc."

"Clean, comfortable, great location. Staff was lovely and the on site amenities were great "

"clean, friendly staff"
