The hotel has a great vibe and a great location. Most importantly, it has great service. They served an excellent scotch at check-in, they put great chocolates in the shape of an F1 car in our room, and everyone from the front desk staff to the excellent manager, Ric, worked hard to make sure we felt at home and were well taken care of. I really enjoyed the pool as well. Overall, a great stay.

I had an incredible experience at this hotel. The people working there are so kind, thoughtful, and helpful. They made my stay amazing and even gave me cool historical facts about the hotel too. (Like Miss Congeniality was filmed right there). The rooms are fancy and cozy. It feels very safe. Overall it is a top tier hotel with great vibes. If you book, you will not regret it.

We are not wealthy people, but the staff and everybody involved at this hotel treated us like roy...

Also AC kept turning off at night so it was hard to sleep. Mostly the encounters with fr...

All other staff is super friendly & accommodati...
