Excellent location with great staff

kind staff luggage storage pleasant bar great area
The staff was very kind! I arrived earlier than check-in, and i was able to leave my luggage there. They also told me of the different events that were taking place each night of my stay. I found that very helpful. The rooftop patio bar is really pleasant. The area is also great for walking around.
The ice maker was out of order . It was somewhat of a disappointment, though i understand these things happen.
