Dissappointing stay
Advertised roof top bar and restaurant which was a big part of why we booked here. It was closed for a private party. very dissappointing. We could have been given notice.

We absolutely loved it! I traveled with my husband for the weekend. The hotel was so beautiful! Everyone was super attentive. I constantly received messages if we needed anything, housekeeping, we even got a welcoming message also a reminder what time to check in and check out. If I had a question or anything I would message and I would get a quick reply. The place itself is so beautiful! The bedroom is also really nice! We will definitely return!

Todo perfecto!
Unico feedback interno cuando housekeeping empiece darle instrucciones de que no se quede conversando en los pasillos o proxima alguna habitación con huéspedes ya que se escucha todo y hay personas aun descansando. Pero todo lo demás servicio de front desk valer parking y restaurante excelente!
