I loved the decor and how beautifully designed everything is. I didn't like that we couldnt self park and we looked like a bunch of gypsy's unloading at the curb. The staff at the pool bar, ("leave of absence") was not friendly at all. We had to wait almost two hours after check-in to get our room and you think they would try to make you as comfortable as possible at the pool bar asking if you need drinks, trying to get you to spend money. We had two kids with us so to wait like we did was a big deal. But they just walked passed us and didn't even acknowledge we were there, we had to go to the bar and ask for drinks. Thank God for Sophia at the front desk. She was super sweet and was really apologetic for the wait, even though it was out of her control. The beds were very comfortable and we had a decent city view. Overall it was a nice time.

Stayed for 6 nights -I received the option of a 10am check in two weeks before my arrival which I took advantage of but my request was never acknowledged. I called two days before check in and was told the hotel would not know availability until the day of and to call back at 11am. I received a txt message two hours before check in that my request couldn’t be fulfilled. -2 of the days I stayed at the hotel the street was blocked off and surrounded by police so I couldn’t get in front of the hotel unless I parked elsewhere and walked. -2 out of the 4 USB sockets did not work, neither did the closet light, or emergency flashlight in the bed room. -Our view from the dirty window was the lovely AC piping which knocked but wasn’t too noticeable as we slept. -The streets were lined with homeless and litter which I know might be out of the hotels control. -The decor in the room looked as if it was bought from a thrift mart with a few odd pictures above 1 bed and a few more at the entry way. The rest of the room was empty like it was left unfinished. -Valet rarely opened any doors or offered assistance. Every time my vehicle was brought I had to adjust the seat settings and the AC. My vehicle wait time was minimal and I did request it often but it’s hard to justify $65 a night and then hit with taxes and a guest amenity fee every night totaling over $630! -On top of these fees there’s also $150/night resort fee for usual amenities, 2 cups of wine per night and $20credit/night
