One thing that got to me.
Great stay. Excellent hotel. One thing that got to me was during our checkout. The person at the desk was using her laptop and completely ignored me when I told her that I was checking out. I had to wait a minute or two before she acknowledged me. Not a friendly person.

High end at a quality price
I was in town to DJ for my friend who had her event at the hotel. Everything was very great from the food at the party to the room. Very clean and very modern. High end room for a reasonable price. Amazing shower water pressure especially on the second floor! Super friendly staff . Highly recommended!

We have stayed here before and enjoyed it then so decided to stay again. The room was nice and clean but found hair in the tub drain. We love O’Briens but felt bad for the bar tender who was doing her best as a 1 person show. Unfortunately, this has been our experience twice now on a night where there are weddings booked. The food is always yummy. Love the sweet hostess who remembered us from 2 years ago when my sister had her Wedding guests stay here and the reception.
