Firstly, there is no self parking only valet and it’s an outrageous amount. The valet is careless and leaves the vehicles unlocked which is unsafe to say the least. Second, the lights in our room weren’t working and when we notified staff they said, “ we’ll put it in our notes, thank you”. We had stains on our bed sheets and towels!? This definitely wasn’t the luxurious stay I’d thought it would be. Very unhappy and don’t plan on recommending or coming back.

Hotel is very clean and the staff are great. The cons of it is that the parking isn’t included with your reservation. Many hotels I’ve stayed in have parking included for free. Parking here was Valet only and you’re charged $60.

DONT STAY THERE!! NO PARKING (across the street where your car is just out in the open all night) SO THEY CHARGE $60 a night for valet!!wasn’t in our room 5 mins & Something on the carpet (looks like blood) fridge didn’t work, I don’t have a safe to protect my belongings, the couch was ripped! Guest service was NO HELP, showed NO EMPATHY! I went down to let them know and the guest service guy started to look up another room for me as I was explaining the conditions of the room & then he said oh if you are worried about being charged I will just put it on your room notes that it was already some wear and tear! I said I rather just get a new room and he goes we don’t have any we are all booked up (after he was just about to move me) so I asked to speak with the manager and she was worse than him, she offered to change the couch and fridge out for some new ones! My girlfriend and I drove out there from Las Vegas so we had no choice but to stay and deal with it, but definitely calling corporate!

I wish i could say i enjoyed my experience. I will say the room was clean and bed comfortable, which is important. A few notable negative highlights: unexplainable screeching alarm going off somewhere in the bathroom(?) super early first morning (we were moved so that was good)., “breakfast included” was very misleading as there was a $ limit & everything available was right to that amt so no beverages included and then only available 6:30-8:30-on Sat & Sun, what?!, no internet available for me in the room-had to go downstairs to use phone. Staff friendly enough & they really tried to help but some things not in their control. Just an unfortunate experience. Bummer
