The hotel is decent but has room for improvement, especially considering it markets itself as a luxury property. Unfortunately, it falls short of the standards one might expect from a truly luxurious experience. The atmosphere is cold and lacks the cozy, inviting vibe I've come to associate with other luxury hotels.
The elevators are extremely small, which can be inconvenient, and the parking situation is confusing. The hotel shares its parking garage with another property, so I recommend using valet to avoid frustration.
Despite having many employees, the service was slow at times. However, the staff members were consistently friendly and helpful, which I greatly appreciated.
Now, onto the booking experience. I traveled from Texas to Monterrey to meet a special guest for lunch and attempted to make restaurant reservations before my arrival. Unfortunately, this process was a disaster. The hotel’s website is inaccurate and fails to reflect up-to-date information about its facilities. While the property boasts two restaurants and two bars, the staff seemed unaware of this, and the website didn’t help either. I was initially told the restaurants wouldn't be open during my stay, which turned out to be untrue. Thankfully, I did enjoy a fantastic meal during my visit.
The concierge reached out via text upon my arrival in Mexico, and I requested an early check-in. I was told this couldn’t be accommodated due to maximum capacity, yet when I arrived at the hotel two hours early, I was able to check in without issue. This inconsistency in communication was frustrating and unnecessary.
Despite these challenges, my stay was manageable, and I want to give a special shoutout to Tathi, the bartender. She was phenomenal and truly enhanced my experience with her exceptional service and great personality.
Overall, this hotel has potential but needs to improve its attention to detail, communication, and overall guest experience to truly live up to its luxury branding.
