Disliked: Amenities

We booked our reservation through Expedia and after doing so I called because I had read that valet parking was included which they confirmed over the phone. When I booked, I had also upgraded to courtyard view, but since we got there late at night, I didn’t say anything after I had seen that we had a view of their AC units. It was too much of a hassle to move rooms with two little kids, so we decided to stay and not say anything until checkout since we paid an additional fee. The agent told me that valet was not included because I booked through Expedia even though I told him I had called to confirm the same day after booking and their courtyard was not accessible, nor was it a true courtyard because there were no seats or anything. It was a rooftop with AC units on it, but he claimed it was their courtyard.

Room was not ready when we arrived. We were told to change for our date night in the hotel bathroom. Once we got the room, toilet worked intermittently. Shower door wouldn’t stay closed. Then in the morning cleaning staff tried to open the door despite it being marked as do not disturb, which was two hours before our check out time. We got a $100 credit toward their restaurant, but overall not a good stay. Plus the bed was uncomfortable and the A/C barely worked. Will not return.

The room was so cute with the exposed brick! It was clean and the bed was very comfortable with lots of pillows. A nice large couch for sitting and reading. The bathroom was a little small but clean. The lobby decor was so fun and went with the vibe. The Mermaid restaurant was tasty and convenient. The drinks and bartender were also a good time. Super happy with the location, lots to do in the area and walkable to a lot of places. Would stay again and recommend to family & friends.
