Hi! The room was clean and the staff was lovely. However, the room was super old. And the shower was dreadful. I most certainly would never label our stay as lux or even good.

Beautiful new hotel, but still not really open. Most of the amenities are not really available. The shuttle is never available and you can’t reserve it. The pool was also still closed. The restaurant while good was missing basics, like milk. Disappointing overall for a hotel of that standard, though ...

The room was very clean. Housekeeping cane every other day and replaced towels and gave us clean linens. Front desk was very nice. And the maintenance man came right away when I was having issues with the dryer. It was a great stay. Everything was clean.
