The only problem with this hotel is the smoking area right beside the main entrance. Cant walk in without smelling like cigarettes - lobby smells like ashtray as the wind blows the smoke right in the doors.

Nuce hotel. The only thing that detracts is the smoking area placed right beside the main entrance. Impossible to walk inside without breathing it in (especially bad for those of us with breathing issues). Front part of lobby smells of smoke all the time as the wind blows the smoke in.

Disappointing- False Advertising
Booked this hotel specifically for fun for my children for the water slides. Unfortunately, when we arrived we learned the slides are only available on weekends.. this isn’t listed anywhere when booking or ANYWHERE on the website or hotels.com. They trick families into staying for the amenity and it isn’t actually available all the time. We could have booked a hotel where this amenity is available. An otherwise beautiful hotel completely ruined by false advertising and unclear specifications on amenity availability.

I was very pleased with the room. It was very modern, clean, had plenty of outlets and USB and C ports. The bathroom vanity had a great makeup light. Bathroom was very clean (but tiny). The bed was comfortable and had both soft and firm pillows that were clearly identified. The room had a movable desk with office chair and a sofa.
