One thing that potential visitors need to know is that on Friday nights, there is a massive drum circle in the park just outside this building. It was very loud from the time we checked in at 4pm until almost 10pm. For those that are sensitive to noise, you will definitely want to avoid Friday nights. Also - the noise from other units can be heard fairly easily - during our first morning we were woken up by the rather loud footsteps and shouts of the children staying in the unit next door. Other than noise issues, the property is very nice and the proximity to all of the shopping and dining would be hard to beat.

We had a great time on our girls trip (4 moms out and about). The location is in the heart of everything and the food hall downstairs is a fantastic spot for an easy bite. We parked in the nearby garage and I’d have loved a convenient drop-off spot for luggage, but it’s not a dealbreaker when you can walk to everything. Everything we needed to have a great stay!
