I thought that the mattresses were terrible. Mattress seemed to be worn out with mattresses topper on top. I asked the front desk to change rooms and they worked with me, but the mattresses in the other rooms were just as bad. For such a beautiful hotel , I would think that the mattress would be comfortable.

We booked 3rooms for my cousins wedding in November, and we arrived around 3am after our check in date (much later time than we expected to arrive due to a hiccup on the road). Thus our reservation was automatically cancelled and charged as a no show. We were so worried and tired, but the hotel staff that helped us check in, was so helpful and reassured us everything will be ok. He was able to retrieve our reservations and check us in with no issues. Customer service was amazing. Rooms were clean and beautiful. Housekeeping was also so helpful with anything we needed.

Industrial area. No food choices nearby. Large deposit required at check in $700. Parking was $30 per day, but reset to hourly if leaving garage. Onsite restaurant very expensive.

Be prepared for hidden fees, also be prepared to complain about this and receive somewhat of a professional reply, they seem to care more about responsiveness to customer complaints but lack on making actual changes to these key issues like $30 a day to park on top of a $20 day amenities fee. One of the reasons i will not be returning.
