I found this hotel to be like the Spirit Airlines of hotel rooms – under the impression that I would be refunded for the full value of the GC upon departure, with exceptional features like 10-foot ceilings, a writing alcove, and nice original art. The king bed with great linens was hard to leave, but unfortunately, my wife's limited mobility impacted our experience.
