loved the hotel. it was nice, clean, friendly staff. loved that they had valet. however, we got left a “love note” under our door from someone in valet leaving us his phone number. we found it kind of creepy and very unprofessional. Also, the maintenance guy walked in on me in my towel. he knocked once and didn’t even give me time to answer the door before barging in and it ended up being for the wrong room. that also made us feel a bit uncomfy, as it was just 2 females staying there alone. aside from that, I would definitely stay there again.
