Raises across the board
Pros:

Thanks guys for the perfect getaway. Upon our arrival we were greeted by two of the most kindest gentleman. Opening our doors to handling our luggage. Making sure we knew how your valet system works. Ras and Dwayne were what we were looking for and more. Entering the hotel and meeting your staff and seeing how clean your hotel was. If I had to say something that was off was your elevators. They took some time getting up and down. Overall great experience. We cannot wait to return in August.

Pros:

You often come across people that truly care and love where they work so props up to Cherelle. She’s a keeper. Take care of her or someone else will take her.

Best Staff Ever!!
Pros:

This was the best trip ever and in no small part due to the wonderful staff we met during our stay. A highlight was our valet Ras, who recognized us on subsequent days after meeting us and was always so friendly and kind, keeping us updated on the status of our vehicle and making sure we had all the information we needed. When we’re back in town we will definitely be back to The Graduate!

Best Buds now
Pros:

From start to finish Dwayne pretty much held my hand. From valet to helping with my belongings. I later came downstairs for a bite to eat and he guided me on great restaurants in the area. I chose Lily Pearl. I won’t get to see him when I check out but tell the staff that he’s a keeper.

Awful bartenders
Pros:

$15 for a half pour of white wine. When I mentioned to the bartender that it was not a full pour she got very angry,
