The accommodations were very nice. Staff was outstanding. Condition of room was lovely. However, the A/C was obnoxious - when turning on and off the noise was too much. Didn't sleep a wink - honestly but needed the A/C on.

I love this hotel. I’ve stayed here 2 times now and will definitely come back. The only thing or really I have 2 complaints, one is the shower pressure. It sucks! And the second thing is, for the price of the hotel, there should be breakfast accommodations but there isn’t. Maybe you should consider it?

Amazing service!
Marcus and Demarcus were amazing - they moved our room away from the elevators upon request and without question, and were extremely kind and helpful!
The bistro and restaurant are awesome - love the hours for the bistro, too!
Ice cream in the gift shop is the best!
Beautiful views, lovely decor, and all you could ask for in one location!

Absolutely beautiful and clean
Really beautiful room. The only complaint is that the balcony had dozens of orb spiders at dusk so he couldn't open the balcony doors overlooking the lake at night.
