Poor service restaurant. Seen our waitress to take orders then never again until she delivered checks. We had to keep asking managers for drink service. Food quality was poor Charged different prices then what was quoted Had to call to get fixed. Valet Parking for 2 nights was $82.00 Room had nail clippings next to bed and side table, under stand for refrigerator has so much dirt you couldn’t see the carpet. Looks like nothing was ever moved to vacuum
