The room was separated from next door by a door only, the guest next to us was shouting at 3am on a phone call so soundproofing could be improved. It was very clean and the facilities in the room were great. It was pretty clean but inside the kitchen cupboards needed a little more attention.

Sadly our smoke detector and phone didn’t work. Had to keep walking up to request items. No hotel toiletries until we asked. Pay $25 for hotel parking but if you come in after 10 you can’t find any. Bed was super uncomfortable and roaches found in bathroom. Beautiful area. Not staying here again.
