The property and lobby is beautiful and modern, however all the rooms are dated and need upgrading. The headboard of my room had some dried droplets of something on it and it was a little unnerving.

It was okay, but the rooms are antiquated and have poor lighting compared to the photos on the website. It's not a bad hotel, just not quite what is marketed. Bar tenders were great in the restaurant.

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.
