The concierge, Caleb, was wonderful. The young lady in the Coffee Cafe was kind. Housekeeping was very good. However the lady at the front desk during check-in was very unprofessional and cruel. What a terrible introduction to an otherwise nice hotel.

The concierge, Caleb, was great. The young lady at the Coffee Cafe was kind and helpful. Housekeeping was wonderful. No request was too small. However the lady who handled our check-in was unprofessional and thoughtless. To be precise, she was cruel.

From start to finish and even my preliminary questions, this property was A-1! In the heart of the city, it was beautiful. The restaurants in the resort were great as well. It was also a great addition that I received a discount on some of the attractions in the areas. Highly recommend!
