great property. the staff is very friendly for the most part. unfortunately, the valet at the main entrance is horrible. they show no interest in helping out at all. they didn’t even come to the car to help…we had to get out of the car and walk over to them. when we called to have them bring the car for us later that evening , as we were walking down from the room, they parked our car behind a ton of other parked cars and didn’t even offer to get the car for us. the valet just handed me my keys am told me “ your car is over there”. the couple of times we came in and out of the main entrance the 4 valet attendants were just standing around on their phones. no greeting, no thank you for coming…just faces buried in their phones. very disappointed with that experience. those guys are literally the first impression when you arrive and should at least acknowledge the guests with a genuine welcome.

Loved the hotel. Excellent customer service. Only negative thing is the pool needs to be updated. It is very slippery when you get out. My husband slipped and I saw a couple of other guests slip. The tiles are loose. I hope they fix it because I would like to come back.
