Disliked: Amenities
The property pictures look better on the website versus in person. The rooms are older and very small. Shower pressure is horrible. When we first arrived the room we had was next to elevators, smelled of smoke, the floors were scratched up and the noice levels were loud. We went downstairs to complain and get moved. We spoke to manager who upgraded us to be abl better room. Bigger and less noisy. We appreciated that very much. My only complaint with this room is the following, no soap on the shower dispenser/ had to ask housekeeper to fill. The bed sunl on the middle. Not very comfortable. We had to check our car in valley. $72 a night plus tax. For 3 nights bill was $356. Dinner was very expensive for a burger and fries. $142 for two people that is with tip. No extra tp had to ask for more. They kept things bare min.

Great location and beautiful hotel. We loved the room but wished the shower glass allows for a good amount of water to splash out.
