Great property, has a food hall 3 min walking distance from room that had over 8 dining options, as well as a bar. All their food was great. Only thing is hotel is doing some remodeling so a lot of noise an WiFi wasn’t working to well. But overall great stay, would definitely recommend to anyone and would stay there again.

The hotel just needs to be updated. It just feels old and not worth $250 a night.

The staff is always very nice here but we were a little disappointed that we couldn't get into our room until 5:00 p.m. also we had to wait till 11:00 for the pool to be open because it hadn't been cleaned yet and when they did clean it, the spa was left dirty and overflowing. So we couldn't use it at all. We were a little disappointed on this trip. We stayed there many times and it's always been very relaxing just a little disappointed in this one

Clean, nice staff, bit uncomfy bed and really loud
We were in a downstairs room next to the stairs. Family with kids let them run up and down the stairs and because it was hard flooring, every sound was SO LOUD. Sounded like there was no insulation.Bed was really hard and uncomfy but the pillows were nice! Staff was super friendly and nice! Room was clean!
