Disappointed

I’ve always liked this hotel but the service has declined. Housekeeping was no where to be found and the front desk was often-times vacant for long stretches of time. I waited 20 minutes for someone to check me out and no one ever showed up. Plus parking is quite expensive. It’s sad because the property itself is quite lovely.

Hotel has great potential. Very unhappy with lack urgency to repair issues with our room. No warm water for shower, clogged bathroom sink. With a staff of 5 standing in the restaurant and maybe 10 guests it took 2 hours for a salad and brat. Woman behind desk tried to help. Dont use valet. They charged us double and no one at company is willing to help. Do not stay here if possible
