We probably would not stay again. The staff at the hotel bar/ restaurant were not friendly or helpful. We felt like we were bothering them just ordering a drink. The food was terrible and very limited selection. Don’t plan on having meals there… not worth the high prices.

Staff was the best, got to check in early for free… My stay was a 10/10 I will be returning in a couple months! Only thing I will say is that it’s a $100 incidental fee for every night you stay… I think that’s really high but you get to use it for room service and stuff… pool and spa 10/10 the gym had so many things everything was just perfect! Highly recommend staying there
