Travelocity Verified Review

"This was such an unexpected gem! I found myself really loving this place for the most part, so much so that I was able to look past other undesirable aspects of the hotel. First- what was amazing was the front desk, staff, lobby, and hotel and bar! The ambiance is insane! It's like being in an opulent forest. Absolutely gorgeous decor that I ended up taking pictures of! Even the artistic chandeliers hanging from the ceiling felt like something you'd see in an upscale art gallery. Truly beautiful. I loved the highly filtered and purified free water station near my room. It was so convenient and tasted better than any bottled water I've ever purchased. The hotel rooms offer a glass carafe which I assume is meant to be used for the water fill up. The room itself was nice. Some previous stay trash was missed during cleaning that I found, but the Starbucks coffee was wonderful! Decor and amenities were great. Lastly, this hotel sounds like a motel as far as noise goes. I could hear everyone's footsteps and shutting doors on my walkway, and I was apparently next to the laundry room where I could hear the washers running the entire time. I would recommend booking the floor level rooms across from the pool. That walkway not only faces the best-looking part of the hotel, but is much quieter. The other side of the hotel, where I was, faces an unattractive parking lot and the noise is out of control. Call ahead to confirm which side you're booking on if that matters."
