The greatest hotel ever! The staff was super amazing and I will be staying again! My mom is here in the ICU and when I tell you the hotel was very informative because of the holiday they Uber’d me back in forth due to no shuttle it was truly a great week. Everyone needs a raise💗

Upon arrival I received a downgrade on the room that I already paid for. I was told the room I paid for was not available. When I did receive the room I paid for the keys did not work. 4 trips to the front desk.
