Wished we would have considered another hotel for our Anniversary stay-
Pros:

Location/Views

Cons:

For the price and location-the hotel could be patched up a bit. Lots of dings and dents and scratches on the doors and walls and furniture.

Pool was cold

Bed wasn’t comfortable

Shower was small

Shampoo and conditioner was junk

Site stated free breakfast and it was not, Which was one of the reasons we chose to stay there.

Valet was great but toooo expensive-over double than other nearby parking.

Pros:

I like the room, food, bar, everything was good.

Cons:

I still have not received my $200 back and no it's not my bank. They don't see anything where $200 has been or even tried to be added back into my account. It has never taken this long for my bank to reverse any funds.
