The service and the atmosphere of this hotel are too notch and it feels luxurious without being pretentious. Eddie at the front desk did an amazing job making me feel welcomed, accommodating my luggage, and getting me the best room available. There’s a very good energy about this place and it resonates through all aspects of the stay.

The worst experience of my life! The staff was totally unreasonable. I'll never consider staying at this place in the future.

Valet was very attentive when we arrived. Sad to say, I didn’t ask for the man’s name, but he pulled out our luggage and gave us water bottles. Then we got introduced to Alex, the guest agent. He did an amazing job at checking us in and even provided a complimentary champagne for my special occasion. He made our check-in process welcoming, smooth, and quick! Their restaurant is very cute & food is a 10/10, I recommend their frittata!!! Read less

I use to stay here when it was a Marriott the new owners have done a great job renovating. The staff is great and represents the hotel with very positive attitude. Would love to come back and stay again. The food was great loved every meal I had there.
