Amazing hotel. Wish surge pricing wasn't a thing
Absolutely love this hotel. The location. The staff. The rooms. The beds. The patio and pool deck. The price... EXCEPT when they jack it x 4 for The FEST. I REALLY wish I could afford to stay here for FEST. Accessibility is too notch too. As a paraplegic in their mid 40s.
