Wife and I did a staycation to celebrate our anniversary. We got the top floor most expensive room option. Staff was great. The room… not so much. All of the curtains were broken. They used duct tape to cover holes that were popped in the wall. The toilet broke. Even the hot sauce the restaurant serves is expired. The “$40 breakfast” is just a $40 credit to use at the restaurant which is dumb, why not just have people spend the money there instead of pretending like that fee includes breakfast. Definitely not worth the $500 total price tag per night. There are better options elsewhere in old town.
