Love this location! This hotel is the only hotel in the heart of the 'fun' district of Los Olas. Plus is also conveniently located on the Riverwalk. Hotel staff are super friendly and very helpful. The room was on the 10th floor, very large and clean. Only wish i had a full, floor to ceiling wondow vs a small one. Bed and pillow were comfy but the bed had 2 holes cut out of the headboard for what i guessed were electrical repair.
