"Room really nice. The rooms are spacious and clean. My only two issues were the fact that I literally had no Wi-Fi and service. For breakfast when I went to get coffee they should be offering an alternative milk option as there was no soy almond or oat milk available only regular milk. Other than that, the hotel rooms are very nice. The atmosphere is super nice and I do recommend."
