Shocking

There is no hotel security at all on this property , and it was needed when a man verbally assaulted and tried to physically intimidate me, my daughter and my sister while having breakfast in the lobby area. After contacting gen manager , she spoke to him, and it was his word against ours! As women traveling alone- please reconsider staying here, I can’t believe he wasn’t escorted out , but then again- no security to do so!!
