"Excellent night sleep fun modern space"

I love this hotel! Will definitely be back! The modern vibes, the digital controls, the lighting and sound options were great! I shared the bed with my niece putting our pillows at the window and sleeping that way was perfect so we could easily get in and out of bed without climbing over each other. The full size body towels are next level features! Nobody does that! Such a win. Comfy comfy bed! perfect!
