It was a cool experience. However, for the price we can do better. A luxury experience should include to door room service experience. Additionally, the drains need cleaning. Lastly, house keeping should be more quiet.

My stay was good, however when we arrived there were used coffee pods in the coffee maker so no one checked. They brought me a new coffee maker and cups but neglected to bring more pods…. No morning coffee for me. Also it was NYE so I personally called the bar to findout what time it closed. I was told 11:00
