Honestly, it wasn’t worth my time no price. I thought it would be a nice experience but it’s old and you don’t get a five star hotel feel from this. It truly just feels like a Hilton dressed up. Both my mom and I had charges we didn’t recognize and the front desk was less than helpful. I wouldn’t stay again.

Disappointed

The food was so sub-par. For a $200 breakfast for two, I expect the food to be at least hot and cooked to order. For $300 dinner, I expect to feel it was excellent. The meal should have been $150, tops. Always excellent service
