First time at hotel, was great, I and my family enjoyed it. Staff was very nice, location to main attractions were amazing but one thing that you just have to be aware with is entrance to hotel from what maps navigation gives you is close by a busy intersection so you will miss it the first time but still enjoyed the stay.
