"This place is amazing. Central location, coffee everywhere, amazing rooftop views, and a guest laundry room! I loved Mi-Pad and would return in a heartbeat."
"Check in was running an hour late. Room was clean but bathroom needs an upgrade. Spa unavailable as booked. Staff friendly but couldn't really help with the one of the rooms being unavailable at the check in time.
Valet was busy so make sure you're not in a hurry for your vehicle"

"All was great. No complains. My friends and I were able to check in without much issues. We could see the mountain right outside our window when we woke up. Close drive to famous fergburger too, and we were able to get them to microwave our overnight food even though they didn't have an oven. Clean too, and we were able to check out with no hassle."
