6/10 Good

Disappointed in service, but a beautiful hotel.
While the hotel itself was amazing and dreamy, we were disappointed with the service beginning from check-in through being charged for items in the room we did not even touch. It has taken several phone calls and messages left to try and amend this issue (as it is still not resolved).

Service par excellence
Our second annual stay for my birthday after Thanksgiving madness. The hotel staff is so well trained & efficient at their jobs. We felt pampered & spoiled. Love the spot on styled interior spaces, the amazing brunch spread & the welcome vino & Ghirardelli chocolate chip cookies. The shuttle service to restaurants completes the service. We love it & will be back! Thank you!
