The dining and bar staff were absolutely lovely, and the dining area, bar, and pool made the whole stay extra enjoyable. Getting around was a breeze—whether calling a car or just walking. My room was super comfy, and the rubber duckie was the cutest surprise!

Would Not Return

I’ll start by saying the property was in a great location. Our first issue was with parking. We arrive to the parking garage attached to the hotel and received a ticket to bring to a kiosk to pay 25$ for an hour of parking. When we checked in we were told we didn’t need to pay the 25, and that it was included with our stay. We entered our room. Our pillows and beds had stains, and our room was very warm. Given it was a hot day, it still was well over 70 degrees in our room. Getting ready as two woman was extremely difficult due to poor lighting and outlet placement. Our mini fridge wasn’t cold enough to keep our food safe to eat. We were given false information about whether or not we can access the pool after checking out. Thankfully the manager gave us late check out so we could enjoy the pool (which was beautiful). As we exit the parking garage it then tells us that we have to pay 70 dollar. I went back inside, as this made no sense based off of what the woman at the front desk had told us. They didn’t say much as I explained the situation. After a smug smirk from two of three people behind the desk I left very bothered. Mind you this room was over 400$ for one night. Not worth it whatsoever and I feel ripped off.
Our fridge at 73 degrees

I have stayed at this hotel many times and have been very happy. However for the first time in 10 years I could not get an early check in and the VIP benefit has gone from 20 % to $ 20 to $10 on the restaurant. Meanwhile the rates are higher than ever.
