Do not even consider booking here. I prepaid for two rooms, upon checking in only one as available. I was told that I would receive a call when the second one was available. We went out and explored the city. I never received a call, when we went to the front desk to check in later I was told there were no rooms available. There were several people in the lobby also with paid reservations and no rooms. I was told that they would bring up a cot, it never happened. Followed up, never promised again, and showed. With no follow-up or explanation. We asked for additional towels (only two in the room) never got them, housekeeping was no where to be found. Unfortunately so in out party had to sleep on the floor for two nights. I was promised a refund and as of this point it has not been received.

The amenities fee is a nuisance. They force you to drink and eat at the hotel and the food isn’t worth the 87 dollars a person they charge you. Also for a non drinker, the bar vouchers are kind of a waste.

Great location and decent rooms. I had a strange experience in that two days in to my four day stay management ( dressed in plain, casual clothes of shorts and tshirt) came to my door and told me I wasn’t supposed to be in my room; that my room was supposed to be vacant. I would have questioned wether or nor he was managements expect except that he looked up my info and that of my colleague. I told him it was the room I was given and he didn’t believe me until I showed him my key pocket where the wrote my room number. The whole scenario was just strange and a little off putting.

Over experience was fine with the hotel. I just never got any room service while I was there. I had to go downstairs for towels, but other than that it was fine. My day was fine and it was quiet. I wasn’t disturbed at all. There wasn’t any noise at all either when I was staying.

Got hit with a lot of hidden fees. Made me pay for breakfast for two people despite being a solo traveller. Breakfast also wasn’t that great. Made me pay for drinks tickets that the bar tender made some people but not everyone pay an up charge for old fashions. The hotel itself is nice but all the additional charges were outrageous.
