The facility is very nice and the staff are all extremely service oriented. Everyone was helpful from the housekeeping to the front desk and concierge services. Had a problem with no hot water one night and the next day which was eventually fixed after a couple of cold showers. Also, the bar was crowded and while they said they could get us a table with a little wait we never got in and had to go out for food elsewhere after waiting more than an hour.

Property is beautiful and ideally located. Absolutely loved the music playing in the lobby as well as the popcorn at the bar. However, the brunch was NOT worth the money. Nor was the stay. Very few amenities. But the rooms do have a Nespresso machine which is great! The staff was always friendly, especially the doormen. However, I was given competing information about the checkin process from two different front desk clerks. Additionally the hot water went out in our room for about a day - something I do not entirely hold against the hotel - but I expected that the inconvenience would have been accommodated more than an offer to shower in the spa. I guess for it to cost 2 to 3 times more than the other hotels I looked at, I just expected more.

Beautiful but deceptive.

I will never stay there again. Although the hotel was beautiful and the food was delicious, we were treated like we were invisible. Doormen open doors for many others, yet I opened most doors myself. A maid entered our room after checked in. The concierge, Jennifer appeared polite and accommoding over the phone, but when she asked us to meet her in the lobby, things changed. She greeted us with smiles and offered to honor HER promise to provide a $60 resort credit AND provide a $100 credit for our breakfast buffet bill due to the invasion of the maid. (Buffet breakfast for two adults was $85+tip) Several hours after checkout, my credit card was charged a $160 room deposit fee and a $35 room service fee. The $60 resort credit was not applied. Jennifer deleted that $60 credit after meeting us. She did honor the $100 breakfast buffet credit, however, that won't be confirmed until all charges are final on my credit card. I did appreciate the early check in and the late check out, but I will not return due to the treatment by some of the staff.
