Stay here! You will love it
This hotel is so beautiful and the customer service was excellent. The restaurant food was excellent! Our family really enjoyed ourselves. The rooms were so nice and clean, I just wish my view was not a parking lot. Other than that, this was a wonderful experience and I would recommend everyone I know to stay here.

A beautiful hotel at a decent rate
A beautiful hotel with great amenities at decent rate. I'd stay here again. The only down side is that you have to pay for parking.

Bed too hard
Everything was excellent. We had a problem with the shower curtain falling off and low water pressure. They fixed it immediately. Only complaint was the bed was super hard. Otherwise amazing experience.

Parkiing lot is miserable
I was very put off by having to pay $17/day for parking. I understand wanting to keep people who are not staying from parking but you should have the ability to park one vehicle on site. Also the fact there was no thought of pedestrian safety with the parking lot. It was dark and there is no center staircase to take. You have to park your car, walk through the dark parking lot to the other side of the driveway to the sidewalk. With all the parking fees you have collected, the installation of a stairway would have paid for itself by now.
