Our room was lacking. Still had garbage on the heater from the last guests, and cold air came in through the doors all night. Music at 8:45am was a bit obnoxious. Mainly the rooms need a few more amenities besides soap in the bathroom, and we only had a tiny garbage next to the toilet. No garbage can in the room. And no way to stream apps on the tv like Netflix. The in room bar was amazing though! The service was mediocre at best at breakfast and with the valet. The concierge was good.
Garbage left on the heater - probably because there was no garbage can but also ooo housekeeping.

This hotel Is phenomenal. The staff was so friendly and helpful the entire stay. I’m a big coffee person, and my latte was excellent every morning and beautifully made. The room was smaller than I expected but very comfortable. I have a bad back and woke without back pain. There is a lot to do in the hotel alone, and much to do around town within walking distance. I would not hesitate to stay here again. It was a great experience! Oh, and the restaurants onsite were all excellent too! Every dish I ordered was delicious- my husband, too!

Upgraded to a pool suite but did not realize it was upstairs. It’s a little difficult when you have a lot of luggage. The room was nice but the shower did not get very warm. It would get hot for a second and then turn freezing cold. Not a desirable shower. The guy at the hostess stand at the diner was very rude and not helpful whatsoever. We sat outside and it was difficult to get service and our food took a very long time to come out. We had to wait almost 30 minutes to receive our check after being finished eating. We had to hunt down our server. I was hoping for a better experience overall.
