25 Oct 2024
Uncomfortable, short-staff, don’t recommend
Front desk staff not available-waited long to check-in. When finally helped, Reserved room was unavailable at check-in. Put in accessible room, assured there was no difference-bed was so low and so uncomfortable-very hard to get in and out of and move around in-physically hurt when tried to get in due to hard bed frame unavoidable; worst hotel experience/bed. Restaurant short-staffed-many open tables but told the wait was over an hour for 2. Way over-priced ($300) for that experience. Would not stay again. Only parking available cost $.

It is a nice place, not much going on. Not many amenities. They have a big place, no swimming, or nice place to enjoy. It is just very quiet.
