The décor was modern and up to date, creating a welcoming and stylish atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to be accommodating. The front desk clerk, in particular, was incredibly helpful—recommending local attractions and great restaurants, and even taking the time to circle them on a map of the city. Their hospitality really enhanced my stay. However, the rules and requirements for the attached casino were a bit off-putting and took away from the overall experience. The atms available did not allow myself or anyone of in my party to withdrawl funds.
