The entire experience from the moment we pulled up was incredible. The Front Desk was incredibly helpful and very kind. They made it very easy to check in and we’re very accommodating with an early arrival. But I must say that Jacob, the valet extraordinaire, was probably our best individual experience that we could have asked for. He was smart, very respectful, knowledgeable, and was quick with everything. He was able to care more about our experience and you can tell how genuine he was with his smile and positive attitude. He’s an exceptional human being, and it needed to be singled out.

Love it! But, but not the restaurant.

We really love the hotel. It had everything we needed. The Charging Stations was a major plus. The pools where heated and the Jacuzzi was hot. My only complaint..... the Restaurant was a major disappointment. The staff were nonexistent and the food took almost 45min to come out. Staff never came back to refill our drinks had to track down other waiters or go to the bar. That's a big turn off for me. I wanted to leave a $5 tip and a note! And I'm a great tipper.

Would’ve preferred to know that they were working on a pool creating a lot of noise. The outside of this property does not look clean and up-to-date. The hot tub in the spa was dirty and did not work. The inside of the locker rooms in the spa were disheveled and disturbing. The massage was amazing! The fitness gym was great and the surrounding areas would have been quiet otherwise.
