We spent a weekend there and valeted our car. Unfortunately, every time we tried to get our car to go out, no one was there to help us. We called for the car and they still had to locate someone to get the car. Frequently there were 2 or 3 families backed up to wait for cars. The front desk was never staffed appropriately, nor was the lobby bar. There were no bell hops to help with luggage, and no one was ever at the concierge's desk. Overall, service was terrible due to severe lack of appropriate staffing levels.

Disappointed

When we arrived, their system was down, so we couldn’t even check in right away and had to wait in the lobby for quite a while. The front desk staff wasn’t friendly—actually, they were pretty rude. The pull-out sofa bed had dirty sheets, and we had to call housekeeping to bring a clean set. We even found a dead roach under the couch. They couldn’t provide a microwave in the room, which made things really difficult while traveling with an infant and a toddler. Having to walk back and forth to the shared microwave multiple times was exhausting. Overall, we were really disappointed—it wasn’t kid-friendly at all, especially for the price. We’ll never stay there again.
