Just okay. Somewhat disappointing. The room was cramped and there was no elevator. There was not enough body wash in the shower. Just thought it would be nicer. Again, just okay.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The staff and the room were great. There was some noise from the people above me that made it slightly less enjoyable of a stay, but overall not bad. Valet in pretty much a must at this place which I’m not a fan of especially since I had to retrieve my own vehicle in the morning since the attendant wasn’t on duty yet and the staff is a skeleton crew in the morning. I was not able to enjoy my free drink since it was storming, but I loved the courtyard and atmosphere of the property.
