Love Hotel Ziggy! The staff was incredible and the hotel was such a fun vibe. Would definitely recommend coming for a birthday weekend with some friends as the hotel hosts pool parties on the weekends! Be prepared to park at the hotel since most lots nearby don’t do overnight parking. Can’t wait to be back!

The hotel is nice and clean. Note that it's about a 15 minute walk from any restaurants (besides the one in the hotel) along a 6 (or 8?) lane road. They also hit you with a number of surprise fees and charge $150 *per day* for incidentals, which of course you should get back at the end...but if you're staying a few days then you'll get a massive charge on your card.
