Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff and the room were great. There was some noise from the people above me that made it slightly less enjoyable of a stay, but overall not bad. Valet in pretty much a must at this place which I’m not a fan of especially since I had to retrieve my own vehicle in the morning since the attendant wasn’t on duty yet and the staff is a skeleton crew in the morning. I was not able to enjoy my free drink since it was storming, but I loved the courtyard and atmosphere of the property.
