Although the ice machine was out of order on our floor, this was a really nice hotel. Mauricio the bartender was FANTASTIC. He was very personable and gave amazing service. This is actually the 2nd time we stayed here. I would definitely recommend.

I reserved a tower room weeks in advance and when I checked in the front desk gave me a regular room. The lady was extremely rude and told me to call orbitz since I paid orbitz. When orbitz called the hotel the lady would not authorize a refund for the difference in room prices. The room was run down, musty, mirror coating was peeling off in the bathroom and the room had a weird high pitched humming noise in the wall that sounded like faulty electrical wiring. My daughter couldn't even sleep between the high pitched noise, sound from the ice machine in the room next to us and the gap under the door allows all outside hallway noise to come in.

This property definitely stands out with its unique castle-inspired design — it’s a fun touch that gives it some character. Overall, the hotel isn’t bad, but it leaves quite a bit to be desired. For the price, I expected a little more: only one elevator was working during my stay, and the room wasn’t as clean as it should have been. The beds had stains and were uncomfortable, which was disappointing. On the positive side, the shower was really nice. I’d give this place a solid C overall.

Room service lacked attention to detail which was shocking. Also, housekeeping staff member was rude. I asked for a late check out, i stood atcthe front desk as the agent got on the radio to advise housekeeping of my request and 10 minutes later, they were at me door knocking. Despite my telling them i have a late check, he would not leave the door. It was uncomfortable and embarrasing.
