Stayed overnight for a work/charity event. Everything was very nice! The only thing that was kind of a bummer was tv selection but oh well. The kitchen/bar staff was great because there was a creeper talking to me and my co-workers and when we finally left the bartender made sure the creeper didn't follow us.
