Disliked: Cleanliness, amenities
This property looks glamorous online, but the reality was very different. Our first room hadn’t been cleaned properly — there was hair all over the shower floor and even in the bed area, including full wads of hair. We asked to move rooms, but the second room had the same cleanliness issues, which made it clear this wasn’t a one-off. For a $500+ weekend, this was incredibly disappointing and honestly pretty gross. To make matters worse, when we arrived late at night, the front desk staff didn’t greet us or offer any basic hospitality. Overall, the experience was not worth the price, and I wouldn’t recommend staying here.

Pictures of the room we booked on Expedia did not match what we got. Room had one tiny window, felt like a jail cell. Called Expedia to work with hotel management to get us a room with windows, but they didn’t do anything and told us to take it up with the management instead.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful. We had an issue with the blackout blinds in our room which was quickly sorted and we were offered a complimentary breakfast for the inconvenience. We also had a very early checkout and the valet staff were on it and had our car there early. The hotel is in a good location. Bar in the hotel is fine, breakfast and service weren't great.

VERY nice property conveniently located where I needed. Excellent and friendly staff from the valet to the front desk and restaurant staff. My family had two rooms. The double bed room was a little small but king bed room was spacious and had a nice couch in there which would have been nice in the double room as well. I would definitely stay there again and appreciated the pleasant stay. I was nervous that it would be a small boutique that would not meet our needs but that was not the case.
