Reservation made through Expedia. Staff had a hard time finding our reservation. When asked about the silver status (free beverages), it appeared they did not know about the program. They were able to accommodate and informed me to charge beverages to my room and they would figure it out at check out. Only one pool was open (adult only), but staff was able to accommodate, since our family had small children excited about the pool. After settling in our room, and I attempted to use the t.v., I was disappointed that it did not work. The hotel sent a technician to our room. The technician reset the television, but upon testing it realized that the channels were still not loading appropriately. After a couple of attempts, the channels finally loaded and worked. So far, the property is gorgeous, but the experience is not what I would have expected for this hotel.

First they had a big party there that night and I wasn’t informed. It was about 100 people’s or more attending a party that over crowded the hotel and parking space. Plus it was a party that you had to be invited to and they took over the hotel the lobby, the parking lot and the bars. You had to walk a mile to get to the hotel because the self parking was full. The person who help me with my bags was expecting a big tip and I had only like a suit case and a book bag. So he had attitude and plus the valet was mad because I wasn’t paying 40 bucks for them to park my car when they was super busy with the party. So the night only get worst from there because hotel was just over packed with peoples that wasn’t friendly. I don’t know if racist played a role in this but the vibes was off. You could feel the bad energy in the air. So I decide to go right across the street to get some food then when I got back to the hotel I took shower and got dressed. Here comes the weird part of my night. When I realize I was dealing with some shady and dishonest valet workers i had forgot something upstairs so pulled up in fronted of the hotel not blocking no other cars and the valet pressure me into given him my keys even the I was only going to be few seconds. The worst mistake of my life I came back to my car and several things was missing out my car but I didnt noticed right away. So I turn around and this is where it goes from a bad night to terrible night. Won’t let me right no more
