I did not like that staff was short. Noone was ever at checkin desk. Had to be changed to different room because of the mildew, wet smell in room. Services was great and the problem was handled immediately at time of existance.

Love the hotel. The ambiance is gorgeous at the property. All of the staff were courteous and efficient. Rooms are comfy and decorated beautifully and quite cozy. The only thing that we didn't care for was our bed. It just wasn't that comfortable but the pillows on the bed were great.

Hotel was absolutely gorgeous. To be honest the staff was not the friendliest. We tried our best to be friendly with them and from the valet to front desk they seemed bothered and could care less. Also the bar and dinning shuts down earlier than as a traveler would like. Loved the entire look of the venue but honestly the staff ruined the experience for us. We even checked out a day early and went to a different hotel where we had a very different experience.
