Everything was clean, energetic, and positive. The general area was very lively and active. My girlfriend and I had a blast. The clubs on location were tons of fun and played those funky beats long into the night. I would highly recommend this place to anybody.
My only reason for not leaving complete 5 star's is because I didn't get to try their breakfast, but I assume it was great as everything else was. PS parking on the weekends is pretty difficult.

This is most likely my 12th or so stay and they always seem to win big in all areas. The convenience of being able to drink and not drive is awesome. They are walkable to so many eateries in the area. If you don't feel like walking than eating from their broad menu of delectable selections is worth it. Gotta try that candied bacon....because everyone loves bacon.

They have major issues with plumbing as for my shower the water pressure kept fluctuating constantly and I was not getting any hot water.
The sink is outside the bathroom which is fine but it has no counter space and it drains extremely slow.
With the club downstairs do not expect to have a quiet night of sleep.
Other than these issues the staff were great and the location is prime. Don't expect much from the complementary breakfast.
