I love gelato. Came into the shop after lunch and started to sample away at their selection. Well after I sampled my fare share of gelato I picked the Spanish wine and raisin and carmel coffee. They were both great and it seemed the Spanish wine was…More »

SO this review is just on the drinks. Okay, so it may have been 2pm and on a Sunday, but to us it was the perfect time to start the night of drinking. We sat at the bar and got the drink menu (which had a lot of drinks) We had to ask the bartender…More »

The food here is okay. Nothing that really impressed me, but not bad. The white spot is all over here. It was a nice place to come after a long night of partying. Our server was super nice. The meals here are around $10 bucks.

Overall: A nice place…More »

So this is rated on the sole fact that it met what we were looking for: cheap and close to the clubs/downtown. We didn't spend much time in the room anyway. Plan was sight see all day and drink all night.

Bad:
-Showers are iffy they go hot/cold

Meh. I've experienced better.

We came here around 10PM and there was a line. I believe it took us about 20 minutes to get in so not too bad. If you pay the security/bouncers some extra $$ you skip the line and get to go right in. Which was a tad bit…More »
