"The staff was really sweet and nice. However, it was not worth the amount they are charging. I paid $800 for 4 nights. I could have found a better property for that. The property needs a deep cleaning, more so the carpets. The rooms were pretty clean The hot breakfast could use an upgrade. The gravy served had a sour taste to it. Parking is insane.

"When we checked in the front desk agent was friendly and nice and went above and beyond to make our stay enjoyable.

"The front office was not friendly. I will say the young woman that checked me in was helpful and did assist me with my request for a room with a view. The room was nicely designed and the view was nice. I would have given this hotel a higher rating if it wasn’t for the bathroom. The bathroom had mildew and what looked like blk mold in shower grout. It was upsetting to deal with a dirty shower. I asked for a new room, the one that was offered was just as bad and had no view. We showered with...
