I use to come here quite often. Haven't been in some years. Place isn't the same. A string of hair was in the corner of the sink, which is unacceptable. They asked for my request but didn't honor it, and it was a simple request. Sad to say that will be/was my last time there.

Nice hotel, will stay again.

Beautiful hotel! Bar staff is exceptional. Bre was our favorite. Hotel should keep pool towels downstairs as housekeeping could not deliver towels to the pool in a timely manner. Front desk advised there were 7 deliveries in front of the pool delivery for towels without a time frame on when they would arrive. Housekeeping will only provide fresh towels in room that are on the floor and does not make beds when you stay over however nothing in the room informs you of this. Hotel charges for parking however I was not informed until checkout.
