The staff was INCREDIBLE! Me and my girlfriend showed up earlier than the time slot and they gave us a free room upgrade just to get us checked in early and satisfied. The room was spacious and the service was amazing. Couldn’t recommend this stay enough! Thank you guys so much for your warm hospitality. :)

Nice clean rooms. Was upgraded to a balcony suite on arrival. Was really nice to have a sizable room to return to, as our original booking was for another hotel with a room that would have been over half the size for the same price.

Facilities and service not on par with price.

I chose this hotel for location and use of a fridge/microwave. I have severe allergies and called ahead to note that. The lobby is overwhelmingly scented which is painful for an asthmatic. At check-in was the first I heard of an additional $100 hold per night’s stay. The kitchenette was full of their mini bar items. I went to front desk and asked that they remove the items on the counter - except X. Everything was removed including X. Ok - errors happen. Called and asked for X. Half of X arrived. Next morning - can you send X. Did not arrive - but another product did. Not used. At checkout - bill included minibar items even though we’d had them removed on checkin. They offset it against room credit - but that’s a poorly controlled process. No hot water in bathroom and reported it. Not fixed. Called after 11:30PM to ask questions about a complaint we didn’t make. Dishes in kitchenette not clean. And the person cleaning the room sprayed tea tree oil spray setting off allergies in spite of request for no scents. If you are asthmatic or have allergies - I would not stay here. Finally - on two occasions - staff nearly ran me over in the hall with their carts. If the hall is narrow and someone is heading to the elevator with a bag - wait there with your cart and let the guest go first. Not the “luxury” stay the price point would imply.
