Got food poisoning from the hotel restaurant upon arrival which almost ruined the whole weekend.

Front desk staff was very attentive! We celebrated my sisters 30th birthday and they upgraded our room!

Our room was very simply put our own personal oasis. Room service was well utilized and the fare was top drawer. Staff was impeccable. This getaway was most pleasurable.

It was absolutely beautiful inside and outside. The staff were so very helpful and kind. Definitely will be back!

Great all around

Couldn’t have asked for a better experience. One of the the best hotels in the city.

Very friendly staff! Attentive & genuine! Clean rooms, excellent service! Great location! Definitely plan to return.

The property is beautiful but the staff is what makes this hotel stand out from the rest. The entire staff is professional, attentive to your needs, and genuinely friendly.

High class Amenities. Clean. 5 star. Amazing place!

‘Accessible’ room was NOT Accessible. Service was terrible everywhere. Lobby coffee Shop was awful.

Best hotel i have ever stayed at! Staff anticipates your needs before you are even aware if them. I felt like royalty. Restaurant also probably the best ever! Expensive but you get what you pay for....loved it!!!

Great personalized service. Very friendly Thank you for helping making our anniversary very special

The service here is the best I have ever encountered in the U.S.. The property is lovely and the restaurant in the hotel is absolutely first-rate. I will definitely be staying here again.
