I arrived early and was greeted by the attentive, professional, and polite front desk and bellman. They checked my luggage until my room was ready. While waiting, I went to have lunch and was later informed via text message that my room was ready. -CS

Great location and staff was amazing. Rooms are EXTREMELY small and dated. Felt dirty as well. The steak restaurant LT was definitely a 5 star bill but the dinner lacked anything special. The steaks were all tough and flavorless. Total waste of a nights dinner. Spoke with several people at the pool who had the same experience. The pizza place at the hotel was phenomenal and probably the best pizza I have ever had! Drinks at the pool are way overpriced ($90 for 4 drinks). Nothing was terrible, and again, staff was wonderful but absolutely not worth several thousand dollars for a few days stay. Much better options for that kind of money with the same great location and way better rooms and amenities.
