The exec floor corner rooms offer an incredible view. Nice lunch and gym was well equipped. Room service was awful and despite saying it was awful I wasn’t offered a refund. Save your money and eat at the Time Out market really close to the hotel.

6/10 Good

Could have been perfect but wasn’t
The property was lovely and we were going to return but unfortunately there was a problem with our bill and the hotels service and follow up was very poor. We spoke with several employees about adjusting out reservation even upon check-in. We were assured by multiple people it would not be a problem but upon check out discovered that it was never changed. We were charged for an extra night and were refused a refund. When this was escalated to a manager they said they would follow up because they had been in error and they never did and so the issue was not resolved. No accountability.

It met my hygiene standards, I’m fussy about cleanliness and they won my heart. The food in this place is exceptional. Compliments to the chef(s). My beau and I had an excellent time. Maintenance should step up. House keeping should also maintain a checklist of items so that they don’t forget to replenish items. Overall, it is a quality facility.
