Prepare to Pay for Amenities
Some guests weren't happy that they had to pay for hotel amenities such as valet parking and Wi-Fi service. Given the price of the hotel, some guests felt these should be included in the room rate.
negative:
Hotel Restaurant Extremely Expensive
According to a number of guests the prices at the on-site restaurant are much higher than they expected, even for hotel dining establishments. Others also mentioned that the service wasn't extremely quick and the food itself could be bland. Overall, most visitors recommend going someplace else to eat.
negative:
Room Sizes Bothersome
While most visitors didn't have an issue with the room size, some people did. They mentioned that since this is a converted courthouse, some of the guest rooms are a bit on the small side. So if you're looking for a large place to spread out, you may have an issue here.
