Unfortunately, I have to leave an unfavorable review. My family and I stayed at the DeSoto on 11/22/24. Once we arrived we discovered there was no parking near the hotel and was charged $40 to park in the Hotel’s parking garage. The room was nothing like what was advertised. For $300 I guess I expected more. The fire alarm went off at 12am. I am unable to walk because I am disbled. We were on the 6th floor and I had to pray it was a false alarm because the elevators were shut down. My family wanted to get an early start and checked out at 5:30 am. We went to the valet’s office to get our vehicle but the person was no where to be found. We waited 30 minutes before the man working the front desk took it upon himself to get our vehicle. To finalize my experience I almost stepped in a pile of dog feces in the main lobby near the revolving door. There were several employees working near by and no one thought to pick it up. The only positive experience was Gary the valet. He took care of us when we checked in and helped me by pushing my luggage cart to our room.

It is a nice hotel when you walk in, but the rooms are not worth the price you pay for them. You can tell that there's not much attention to details when it comes to cleaning. We had a city view double balcony room. It was a very small room compared to others that I have stayed at. The outlet behind the bedside table was literally hanging out of the wall (I lost an earring so; we had to move it.) Their elevators are past inspection, which honestly surprised me. The view from the balcony, and the staff were the best part of the entire experience. I personally will not be going back. Simply because I can get way more for the money somewhere else and the outlet hanging from the wall.

The hotel is average. Was placed in a room next to elevator, which was quite loud. Attention to detail in rooms was lacking: temperature set at 51 degrees in winter and a piece of equipment was plugged in and laying on the floor ( presumably to freshen room/reduce odor)

Fabulous Stay
In town on part business part pleasure. First time staying here but may not stay anywhere else on future trips. The hotel was absolutely wonderful. Everyone was extremely helpful and happy to do so. From the valet, whom i did not need, but the young lady was very helpful and knowledgeable about the city, to front desk staff and coffee shop personnel. It has been a very very long time since i was this impressed with any business. The property is beautiful. I loved the fact that we could sit outside our room on the balcony and have a coffee or a drink and watch the sun rise or set. We will definitely be back.
