Everything during our stay was excellent except during our final night, we arrived back at hotel late at around 11:30. We left our car with the valet. The next morning wr awoke to find the parking attendant left our window open and rained inside the car. I had a wet butt on the way home. We arent mad and require nothing in return. The hotel was beautiful and clean. We will return.

The lobby atmosphere is great. Unique and invites you to explore. However up in check in, after I booked a DBL queen, the attendant asked in a way that almost suggested we give up the room, if we needed the two beds. I have never been asked that ever in such a way. Plus check out is at 12 and an employee knocked on our door at 10 to check if we were leaving or had left Interesting welcome procedures across the board ourdoo

The hotel was beautiful. The fan in my room was loud but I didn’t want to change rooms because I am lazy. There was also gum in the cups for coffee that I didn’t notice until after I used the cup. Not ur fault. Everything was good otherwise. Nice bed and bedding. Good food I ordered at the restaurant and walking around was some good options for coffee and food.
