Ashley, Sep 2025
Pros (+) The view
Cons (-) The room was not as spacious, the balcony needed renovations, the restaurant had limited options, was told that we could not take pictures, it was overall a 3 star hotel that was portrayed as 5 star. The valet only option for parking was also not reliable.

Flora, Aug 2025
Pros (+) The rooms were amazing, extremely clean, and very comfortable. The bed was the most comfortable bed in any hotel and the shower, WOW!! Hot, hot, super water pressure. We had an all-around amazing stay.
Cons (-) The bar downstairs wasn't consistent for pricing. One day beer was one price, the next day, it was double. Not sure why, but nevertheless, the hotel was fantastic.
