“ I had a great experience here! I stayed at the hotel for a few days. My first night, I kept it chill and hung out at the hotel. Ray was my bartender and not only did he make me a great margarita, he held really good conversation! I ordered empanadas (which were delicious) and Shawn made sure to come and see how everything was. The food and drinks were great, the ambiance was nice and moody and the other patrons were really kind. I will definitely come back here when I’m in town! ”
