I had an accessible room but the shower grab bars are FAKE. I rely on the bars getting into the shower but these are not anchored properly—bare screws in the tile. I have pictures because the bar pulled out and I nearly fell over backward. The staff was ho hum about it and the manager refused to call me to hear my concerns. They should post warning signs in all the showers telling customers they only look like grab bars. Guests beware!

Everything was beautiful and clean. I have to assume it is a pet friendly hotel as I had terrible allergies while staying in the room. That is the only negative thing I have to say and wish they would have separate quarters for people who bring pets.

This is a beautiful property and the staff was friendly but our bathroom sink took forever to drain. We were there on family business and didn’t have time to reach out to have it fixed but I would think the cleaning staff should have noticed it.
