Eh

I was underwhelmed with this hotel. It was very fancy feeling but not great for a family stay. I couldn’t pull up for required valet parking because the valets were not clearing the cars from the spots so I had to find a place to park and empty my entire vehicle and then still pay for the valet service in order to be parked. The hotel is geared towards adults only. I would have preferred longer pool hours, especially with the hotel catering to adults primarily.

The room was excellent. The only thing was that the pipes in the room were a little noisy and I think it's because they haven't ironed out all the kinks from the renovation. We would stay here again.
