Especially pleased with Lindsay at the front desk. Very very helpful. We were assigned a room by the elevator - noisy…but someone has to get that room, right?

The property was big. it was okay. I called about water dripping from the ceiling, they said someone came to fix it already but when we came back, the drip was dripping more water than before. We also had a power tripped when I used 2 different appliances. we didn't know it will be like that. We got 4 free breakfast which was nice, food was okay.. still thank you. but I would say, our stay was not relaxing enough.

This hotel has a great location and all of the staff were super friendly! Our room was spacious and comfortable. A few minor things (no fan in the bathroom laying to some mold spots, and the air conditioner is a little noisy) but overall, I would 100% choose to stay here again! GREAT location!

very average hotel

The hotel looks really nice in the picture. But its really average looking in person. Its extremely over priced. We paid $1100 for two nights. We don't mind paying that amount for 5 star standard hotel. However, our room was facing a wall, it's pretty small, no safety box and there were pubic hair in the bathroom.
