The staff was honestly the worst part. Every interaction was strange. They all were fairly rude and the service in the restaurant was actually terrible. They were out of every single wine option, literally. It took hours just to order and get our food and the staff was not knowledgeable about the menu or anything else in the hotel. The valet were off putting to say the least. Constantly making rude commentary and were so far from helpful. The phone in the room didn’t work and there was no fitted sheet on either of the beds. This place has potential to be a great hotel but the staff and service made every interaction kind of suck.

People talking loudly in the corridor too long 2AM. Ice machine making loud noise. I am a handicap person taking blood thinner. There for I left early morning 4:30 am. Unfortunately I have to walk quite a long distance to the parked area because there is no Valet service till 7am. They should allow me to park close by.
