The hotel has perfect location! Unfortunately my view was of another building and I felt like I was underground. Accidently booked a pet friendly room so I assume that’s why. The bed was comfy but if taking along a pet I would go elsewhere. Look forward to staying there again and see how normal rooms are because the location was awesome!
