All the staff were great and super friendly. My only issue was the amount of noise you get from the club downstairs, thank goodness for noise cancelling headphones.

Tiny rooms, even tinier sinks in the guest rooms. The corners of the bed we had protrude too far out, so we constantly kept hitting them with our toes. We were warned about it by front desk clerk but nonetheless, it's worth mentioning. Other than that - excellent stay. Staff is on top of everything, and very pleasant. Nice pool, and good entertainment downstairs. Good breakfast, and good vibe. Thank you, we would stay again.
