Rating 10 - Excellent. 1017 out of 1566 reviews" "
We complained several nights that the band music was keeping us awake into the night, one night till almost 2:30pm.
It was horrible, and they did nothing to accommodate us. For what we paid for that suite and amenities, this was not in any way appropriate.
Again, the front desk said they would report to management that first night, that they could do nothing, we were basically trapped to just live with it We were never contacted. We should get some recompense.
Ask it to desk for the VIP upgrades but was told none was available.
Hotel is a nice four star, Show some age and could use a total remodel interior. Staff is excellent, very friendly and knowledgeable.
Is breakfast is good, Is but the restaurants in general are pretty three star at best.
5-star hotel with a 3-star hotel service.
Bellhop person very rude and not helpful.
Lady preparing breakfast was great.
Dinner: it took too long to get our food and it was horrible.
Had to request face towels as they did not provide any.
Very good hotel, convenience and comfortable room, room service was so amazing, they take care of customer very well,mr pablo front desk was so kind and helpful. Overally hotel was amazing. Thank you for everything.
Despite being a gold member(qualifying me for room upgrades) and typically receiving room upgrades at other hotels, a lady with glasses at the front desk informed me that I would need to pay for an upgrade, even though rooms were available.
