The room’s quality has declined, and I was overcharged for valet. When I flagged it, the charge still went through, and I had to call back again to get the refund. If I hadn’t monitored it, I would have been charged and never refunded.

Horrible experience, this booking was made for my best friend and she was relaying on me. However they did not let her check in, demanding from her 250$ for each night , on top of that very rude attitude towards her . Don’t recommend this place to anyone .

The room was provided literally had BBQ sauce dripping down the bedroom wall and above the bed. It was clearly not cleaned. The second room smelled like someone peed on the carpet. It had peeling wallpaper, broken kickboards and a moldy shower. Great location but I would avoid this hotel.

The check-in was terrible. We had no air-conditioning the first night of our stay. I didn’t sleep all night. They sent someone up the next morning to repair it. I was supposed to get complementary drinks, which I never received. The hotel was generally rundown needs an uplift.

Having a nice evening, early morning 5k run, then stepping into a cold shower that never got even a little warm was not good at all. Since we were on a time schedule for check out, we did not call the front desk. I will be in contact with someone who can help us with this matter. We paid for a room with warm water for the shower and did not get it.

Room had poor insulation & it was very noisy. Very few amenities like other Hard Rock hotels. Bathrooms need updating, wallpaper coming off. Bar short staffed. For the price, I would not recommend this hotel.
