"Prettier in the pictures. When I visited the neon Freehand sign was busted. The hallways and rooms were very dimly lit. The room had no view. And I was charged a resort fee for an onsite restaurant that was "closed for a private event" and a bar that was closed for the month. "

"Location was great with good dining options close by. Shower was small and took a while for hot water to come on. Heating/cooling was a challenge-- room was either too hot or it would cool down too much and too quickly. Staff was very helpful and provided some recommendations on dining in the area. Could not get TV to link to our streaming throughout our stay."
