Enjoyed being close to the Blue Gate for a concert. Nice staff, excellent food. There is a very nice pool and hot tub w/showers. It is a bit overpriced, and there is alot of walking to get to some of the rooms.

The hotel was clean and the room was very quiet. I had a room with 2 beds and there was no comfortable seating in the room. I did not use amenities other than wi-fi which was slow but stable. I booked this place specifically because I was attending a concert across the street. The convenience of being able to walk to and from the concert was wonderful!
