So it may not be a fair assessment because the property is going through major renovations but we didn’t have the best stay. We were hoping for a relaxed weekend by the pool, but the pool area was closed and going thru a rebuild. I wish we knew this beforehand because we would have switched to another property. We were told we could go to their sister property but it was a 15 minute drive away. Also, the restaurant had a surcharge where we were told by the service staff that it went directly to the property and not to the staff. We will come back, but only when the renovation is done.

Very beautiful hotel. I appreciate the decor. Do not appreciate the $40 a day parking though. Seems excessive and there is no cheaper alternative as it's located on a main road with no available street parking.

Lost my wallet and they didn't return it
We really like the property and have stayed here many times. However I had a situation recently that was frustrating. I left my wallet at the lobby desk since it was dark in the room so I didn't see it. The lobby is being remodeled so it is in a temporary room. They never called me to tell me that they had it even though my id was in the wallet and they knew it must belong to a guest. To make matters worse, I called to see if they had found it and they said they hadn't even though it was in a drawer next to the check in desk. Luckily I had an air tag in my wallet or I would not have been able to get on the plane without an ID. In addition, the pool area is being remodeled and it is very difficult to find the gym since it is next to the pool.
