Check in was terrible. I had already pre-paid for this room through hotels.com, but they were trying to charge my guests more than $400. She called me. I had to give my credit card number to the front desk in order to let her stay there, in spite of me having a receipt from hotels.com for her stay.

Terrible customer service
The king room was lovely but the stay was a terrible experience. Around 11:15 pm, my husband and I had just fallen asleep and were awoke by people outside our door talking and banging. Employees were trying to get the room door across from us open so other guests could get their things. The key was not working. We had to get dressed, gather our things and move to another room due to the noise. There was no manager available and we were treated poorly. The room we moved to was not nearly as nice as the one I booked. Will never stay here again.

Excellent stay. From the very beginning being greeted by an incredibly courteous and professional EnZi front desk representative, till the very last moment we felt welcomed and well taken care of. Speakeasy bar was an amazing discovery as well. Highly recommend. Great hotel.
