I didn’t realize that this hotel had two different restaurants, a huge pool, and a bowling alley/pool hall. You literally had everything you needed in the hotel, and the Quixote restaurant was fabulous. That being said, the front desk/concierge could have been a bit more helpful with some things - they wouldn’t give us cash back when paying our bill for the valet, and when I asked about good coffee shops in the area, the concierge just shrugged and told me she didn’t know.

Check in and check out was fast and easy. The valet was also fast and easy, paying for parking is actually worth it. Everyone was very accommodating. The rooms were cozy and the activities to do in the gutter really make it a part of the experience.

I had high expectations and they were exceeded. I wish I had stayed longer is my only complaint. We stayed in the petite king room and the furnishings and attention to detail was astounding. The property was fun to explore with a variety of restaurants and bars and a fun pool. We were in the back of the property which was quiet, but if you are near the pool, expect the (very good) music to be playing consistently. All the staff was kind and attentive. At $35, a night for valet with in and out privledges, I'd say it's a good price for the value and the turnaround was fast. Will be back!
