"This is a beautiful hotel. The style was awesome and the valet service was awesome. Loved the ability to text to have your car ready! I was frustrated that there was an awful alarm in the hallway and when I asked for help, I had to ask repeatedly and it took hours. Everything great."

Often times staff would just ignore anyone who was sitting at a table and not offer them a drink. ..."
