"Our first room was clean and comfortable, however when I went into the restroom I discovered mold above the door. We requested a different room and it also had mold above the shower. We requested another room and the 3rd one was just fine. The staff was good to work with and the room was clean."

"Nice looking hotel. Two big flaws: poorly staffed for s supposedly "high end" hotel - they have NO bellhops/porters (and only a few luggage carts). Restaurant is highly overrated - a very noisy restaurant surrounding a large circular bar."
