The stay overall was great, the room was spacious and clean. The staff was absolutely wonderful, Robert the valet was a gem as well as Patricia who was at the front desk to check us in. They also let us stay an extra hour which we greatly appreciated. Only a couple of things i wanted to note was that the shampoo, conditioner, and body wash wasn't restocked and we were only there for the night. The balcony was extremely small but other than that I would stay again. 4.5 stars out of 5 :)

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Our room was very clean, charming, & comfortable. The front desk staff and everyone we encountered in the facility were all very friendly and helpful. When we checked in, we were informed of a wedding that would be in the main courtyard on the second evening of our 2-day booking. We could not have canceled or changed our reservation at this time without losing money, so we just proceeded. The wedding was very loud. We could not enjoy the room at all, couldn't relax, couldn't watch TV. We wished the staff had thought ahead and either offered us a different room, or offered a free cancellation. Both the wedding and our reservation were booked well in advance. The front staff did offer to compensate our valet parking fee; we are still waiting for that refund.

Front desk was very accommodating, and gave a free upgrade for our wedding night. A staff member with red hair gave us her Bobby pin when the brides hair started to fall apart. Really appreciate both of them.

Balcony was super tiny, I was shocked by that but ultimately that didn’t matter and the entire stay was wonderful. I do wish there were better parking options as $60 valet did put a crunch on the budget. The staff was absolutely amazing and I would stay here again happily!

Very disappointing for the price. Rooms are old with only one outlet in the room so charging your phone was a struggle. No amenities at all like water or coffee and no restaurant onsite just a bar that didn’t open until 4 pm. For the cost we could have stayed at a Hilton or similar. Will not stay here again
