Summary: Parking was a hassle. the garage is to o small for a Suburban. One of the restaurants was closed which limited choices. All in all, the staff was friendly, a pleasure to work with and the house cleaning was superb.

Summary: A restaurant and other areas of the hotel are being renovated and will be even nicer once complete. Staff were very friendly and helpful - we were offered a free shuttle ride to a bike rental place when we found out their bike rentals weren't available yet and they offered to pick us up at the end as well, if needed. The pool was a nice respite and the beds were very comfortable.

Summary: Richard check us in and was an exceptional host. He was extremely cordial complimenting and upgraded us to a room with an amazing view without us asking. He was very informative about the amenities of the hotel and acted as a concierge as well to inform us of nearby activities restaurants and the shuttle service. We are very pleased with our stay and we'll happily stay here again.

Summary: Room had no hot water
Lisa May 17, 2025 12:37:07 AM
Summary: The only place to plug in a charger cord for phones or Apple Watch was at least 20 feet away from the beds. There was no valet parking. We were told when we checked out and I gave back the key cards that we were all set for parking. My friend went to retrieve the car and found she had to pay $28 to get out of the lot. I’m hoping to resolve this issue.

John Mar 18, 2025 04:54:14 AM
Summary: Had a bay view room on 8th floor and was amazing.
Dawna Mar 16, 2025 06:08:04 PM
Summary: Nice stay, in town for a show with family and friends for just 1 night. Check in was a slow process, definitely could be quicker. Other than that, great stay!
Mary Mar 8, 2025 03:06:46 AM
Summary: Our stay at this hotel exceeded our expectations. Though the parts of the facility were under remodeling/construction we never would have known except for entering/leaving through an alternate route. All areas that we visited were very clean and beds in our room were very comfortable. All staff we encountered were courteous pleasant and concerned about our comfort and needs. My husband is blind and all staff were intuned to this. Mark, Grisel and Richard at the front desk were wonderful as were the dining room staff. We only had breakfast during our stay but it was delicious. Alex the van driver was pleasant as well. We will definitely return here.

Summary: We stayed overnight for a couples getaway. Even though they were under construction, everything was clean and orderly. We prepaid for our breakfast and was shocked at the amoint of food we got. It was very good. Just surprising amount. I would only park in the garage under the hotel if you have a tiny car. Otherwise, use their other garage. Nice hotel and staff. Would stay again.
