We had a great stay at this hotel! My only complaint would be limited parking but the hotel itself was amazing! Great service, great drinks, and walkable distance to bars/clubs. Plan to return to this hotel in the future.

Clean but high price for average service and food.
The hotel is clean and comfortable; the rooms are well designed. I was pretty disappointed that there was no room service; for the price you pay per night, I would think this is a minimum requirement. You have to pick up your food from the restaurant. I ordered take out at Legacy and my opinion is give your money elsewhere. The food is exorbitantly priced and more average than your average Mcdonalds. Incredibly disappointed at the food price vs. quality and lack of room service.

Enjoyed everything! Pet friendly being your first benefit, the food was excellent in the Legacy restaurant- our server was spectacular. We enjoyed the bar for a nightcap and a rejuvenating swim the next morning. Nespresso coffee in the room was great!
