The only good thing during our stay was the central location of this hotel. We had a Thursday and Friday night stay and was not a good sleep. First night there was a major sports event on tv and the noise was significant, plus the comedy club right under our room was no help. Friday was party night, so noise was laud and well into the night. The room was ok, but the bathroom had a sewage smell and the shower impossible to manage.

We couldn’t have chosen a better venue for our daughter’s 21st celebration. The venue was absolutely stunning, the food was amazing, and the communication before and after the event was outstanding. Every staff member was professional, friendly, and genuinely invested in making the night perfect.A special mention to Tony, the bar manager, who truly made the night. His patient manner, incredible attention to detail, and calm presence ensured everything ran smoothly and effortlessly. He went above and beyond, and we are so grateful for his care and dedication.An unforgettable night from start to finish — 100% recommend this
