10/10 It was my husband’s birthday and I wanted to give him a nice night out… and I can say that AC did that. Parking was easy… checking in was easy and smooth. When we entered our room we were in awe. The room was clean and neat and we loved it.. aesthetic is a 10/10. One of the things that stood out the most for us was the breakfast. Breakfast was not only affordable but it was nutritious and delicious… very delicious. I have to point out that my husband was not doing well during breakfast time and he was unable to come down and eat but the lovely staff helped me to pack a to go box so that I could take it to the room for him. I Will be visiting again AC and the next time I will be there for more than just a night.

Sebastian and Hailey at the front were excellent and made us feel welcomed. There was a woman bartender (didn’t catch her name) one night who was working very diligently and was doing an amazing job during a rush. The area shuttle was such a great accommodation especially during some chilly nights. Our king room with a sofa was perfect. All around great hotel, highly recommend.

Be careful when booking on hotels.com

The hotel was great and everything but unfortunately hotels.com and expedia.com suck because they do not guarantee you the room that you pick which was a king size bed so we ended up getting two doubles or Queens which was cool because I sweat one bed being really f****** hot one night and just moved to the next and then they gave Valley parking to us for free to make up for it so I would say it wasn't too horrible the hotel is very nice and the people that work here too
