I spent 650 dollars on a rooom for 3 night for them to put me in a room that had water falling from the ceiling . They changed my room and the next room I went to had absolutely no hot water . I called down stairs and they just brushed me off and said that they would call back and never did . I had to pay for valet Parking all three nights and the guys brought my car back with a flat tire that I had to Chang at 12 am because I went out because I’m on vacation !! The bar outside was not open, I had to go upstairs and every time I went they were rushing me because “ they’re about to close ” .and the pool was under construction . Over all it was not worth it at all . I want my money back . Everything was terrible .

Disappointed

There were very load humming noises every time someone had a shower on the 5 th floor that would vibrate through the whole hallway. Very hard to sleep. Maid service needs to communicate with maintenance department to correct. Also none of the plugs work to charge any electronics. Finally just went to sit in car to charge phone. Nice hobby the rooms are painted to cover up issues. Pillows are very comfortable
