Well located
vincentsK5837WO on Oct 18, 2021
Service is somewhat not up to my standards with luxury hotels. The check in was possibly the worst one I ever had at a hotel. I booked the stay under my name, but because of I was golfing on the day of arrival, I told my girlfriend to check in for us first. She had all the booking information and my credit card that I used to book the stay, she still got denied from the front desk. The staff actually told her to just wait for me to come at the lobby despite the fact that she knew I was at least 3 hours away. Very bad experience, I had to make multiple calls during my game to finally have my girlfriend to check in for us,
Gold Floor exceeds expectations

As always, the Gold Floor is worth it! Was upgraded to a larger room and enjoyed the lounge. Doug and his team are gracious and generous... feels like home only I don't have to make my own bed. Warmly, Julia
