7.4/10

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms were beautifully designed with high-end fixtures and granite bathrooms, offering a spacious and clean environment. However, there were some issues with the electrical plugs and TV in the room. On the downside, I had a frustrating encounter with the valet attendant who tried to overcharge me for overnight parking after only two hours on the property.

The only downside was being charged for overnight parking, but the service was incredibly kind and helpful.
