Weekend getaway
It was perfect for what we were doing and very close to our tennis tournament. Hotel was nice and rooms were big. But when we got there at 4 the room wasn’t ready but we were offered free cocktails. The service is no where near the level of the actual hotel. It is severely lacking from the front desk to the bar/ restaurant. Restaurant was never busy and service was super slow and not professional. The valet was great and professional, I believe his name was Omar. Basically nice boutique hotel but service was not up to the level.
