2/10 Poor

Classless team
Other than Evan and the bellhops… The staff here is incredibly rude even though I have been coming here for over a decade. I spent over $30,000 in the last two years in the spa, etc., and they still are the most disrespectful individuals I’ve ever met. I will never stay here again. The spa staff. Awful and I was charged for a service I canceled. This is the ONLY bad review I’ve ever given on here. There was also a roach(I didn’t mention it since they seem to think the people including me staying here are looking for a discount) SO STUPID. No one dropping 2 plus grand in a night is looking for that!!

All pomp and no circumstance
We requested concierge assistance to help with restaurant and event tickets. They never responded after multiple attempts. This hotel presents itself as high end, but without concierge service, luggage assistance, and valet it’s just a really nice expensive Marriott Courtyard.

Our day started off wonderful with Jeffrey welcoming us as valet and Willow as checking us in. We went to the pool and the service was horrible that took forever to get anything to eat or drink. Our rooms air conditioning didn’t work and it took them over an hour to move us. Beautiful hotel needs help and service.
