Excellent customer service by valet parking team. At midnight, I realized that a substantial amount of water was coming thru the bathroom ceiling from the room above. This required that I change rooms. Hotel did not readily offer any offset of fees, surprisingly.

I would not recommend & will never stay here again. The bed was so saggy, the pillows uncomfortable & the sheets rough & worn. I could hardly sleep. Also my room was not made up during the day. I left the “make up my room” light on when I left at 9:30am. But by 4pm when I returned the room still hadn’t been made. By then it was too late, I hardly wanted to be bothered.

My room was not cleaned and when I checked out, they checked me out of the wrong room. Property is beautiful but service is incredibly lacking for an awarded four star hotel.

My room was put together, but not clean. There was dust caked on the vents, huge caulk was in the shower, but was pulling away from the wall. The bottom of the door in the bathroom was literally disgusting, bubbling up I’m surprised the door even shut. The vent in the room kept sucking in the heavy curtain, so I to use their round pillow to ensure it kept it open. I got the room on sale, I’d never think this would be worth the full price. It’s literally just the name that they are holding onto. Maybe they pay more mind to the rooms that are more expensive, but the room I was in, no way.
