Mini fridge was tiny compact with no shelves etc. can only fit literally a few items. For the more expensive rooms we got we assumed it would be bigger. 1 of our 2 rooms had no shower curtain and had to ask for one, neither room had any bedding for sofa beds had to ask for it. Wish it wasn’t mandatory expensive valet only parking. Website says breakfast included with stay which it is NOT.

They have the BEST pillows on the beds! Clean comfortable beds - good a/c - Very comfortable room. Not really a resort - I mean you wouldn't spend any time here. There is a considerable resort fee. Eat breakfast elsewhere or keep leftovers in the little room fridge. The cookies they give at check-in are delicious and made me happy. The nearby ice cream shop has Dole Whip, which I got addicted to. Bus stops nearby.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
There is no resort amenities at the hotel so I am not sure why there is a resort fee. Hotel staff gave away our room even though they were notified by both Expedia and ourselves that our flight was delayed! Did not compensate us for down grade and tried to charge us for the night we were not there due to flight delay that they were informed of as soon as it occurred! Old property in need of renovations! They wanted to charge us for our room that they gave away the night before…unprofessional and totally unexceptional treatment of guests! Don’t book through Expedia they have no way to help with disputes. Staff rolled their eyes and said not our problem you booked third party…lesson learned!

The staff and service is amazing! The bell desk/valet workers treated us like family especially Scott. But all of the ones we came in contact with was exceptional. My mom had ankle surgery so was walking with a cane, they made sure to make it convenient and always had our car ready! The only downfall is they only offer valet parking and parking is $53/day. But other than that, I was impressed. Will be a returning customer for sure!!

The rooms and hotel were clean. I did not like that the room was not ready by 4 pm check in time and I had to go down stairs to pick up extra towels and bedding for sofa bed when it was known that we had 3 occupants staying in the room. Besides that, it’s was a good stay and I would recommend the hotel.
