Check in

Beautiful lobby and restaurant. Rooms are fairly spacious. The check in/check out process was long and needs work. The line was out of the door for check in with only one person working the majority of the time. Breakfast included was a nice perk and parking wasn’t too high.

Hidden Fees

Hidden fees within booking. $150 Charge for drink and breakfast tickets that you will never use. I overheard a few guests complaining about it too

Jane, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Shame. Was the most beautiful hotel in the day. $ was a steal. but sad it’s so neglected. Hallways needed a vacuum. Rooms are decent but carpet is old. First room smelled of mold/musty. Front desk changed immediately. Breakfast staff was very nice. For the price- a deal to accept the neglect of such an iconic hotel. Great location.
Debbie, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

Very disappointing.Rooms were only cleaned every 3rd day.Very few employees in evidence. Total bait and switch with drink and food coupons that we did not want or need. I would not recommend this hotel. Great location but several more options close by.

I LOVED the welcome gifts! Breakfast buffet and drinks included. Will definitely be booking again😊
Ivette, 1-night trip

4/10 Fair

The carpet had multiple large stains it was very gross to look at. The shower was a handheld shower head. The sink was a flat top and anything you washed off just sat at the surface. It was really not what I expected for what I paid
linda, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Very clean and elegant.
Michael, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

Beware of add ons

I was charged an additional $140 for “resort fees” upon checking in for things I didn’t ask for nor needed. Very upsetting.
Daniel, 1-night trip

Personable and experts in their field-bartender and engineer who came to our room. Maid who took care of our room-great! Thank you for an excellent stay.
