Pros: Room was clean. Quiet. Typical continental breakfast (biscuits and gravy, cereal, waffles, toast, juice) Cons: the hot tub was not hot more like lukewarm and the jets didn't work. The bathtub in our room already had a big dent/scratch and was rusting even though this hotel is really new.

Only thing keeping this from being the perfect hotel was the extremely slow elevator (waited over five minutes one time before choosing to carry our luggage down four flights of stairs).

This seems like a very new property and it shows - super clean, fresh rooms and lobby. It even smelled clean and fresh. Beds were so comfy. Staff was very nice! The 2 queen room was sleek and clean and lots of room. My only issue is that it was a bit LOUD. Not sure if it's the hardwood floors, but we could hear the people above our room loudly walking around super early in the am. Woke us up!!
