The location was great and close to so many shops and restaurants. The hotel itself was beautiful. The rooms, lobby, pool, bars, everything was perfect.

The hotel is beautiful,, the staff was very friendly and helpful, the rooms are nicely put together. The only thing they need to improve is the linen cleaning- the towels and sheets had a smell to them as if they had been used to dry off a wet dog. Otherwise, this property is fabulous.

Kenneth

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I paid for a deluxe room with a balcony, thinking it was the best way to experience the hotel through an expansive view of the city. They stuck me on the third floor, with a balcony backed up to a concrete wall, and two sides of the building itself flanking the balcony. Zero views of anything. I mean, zero. The room was an insult. It should not be offered to visitors. Food: Really quite terrible. Mediocrity dressed up in southern finery. That said, the staff was exceptionally well trained. Kind. Helpful. Knowledgeable. The location is great. I doubt I would stay a second time
