The bar and lounge is amazing. Quiet, modern, cozy feel. The drinks and food are amazing. A little pricey but definitely worth it. The bartender the day we stayed there, 26 Jan 2024, was amazing! He made sure we had everything we needed and so friendly and fun. Overall it is a very nice hotel. The rooms are newer modern and big, love the huge shower.
