Beautiful venue, cares more about large clients than weddings

Extremely inflexible so don’t expect to make any changes to their pre set itinerary. They also do not allow you to block of any rooms (if you wish to do this you just pay for them in full). My husband and I booked a larger Imperial Suite for the wedding evening and they would not allow us to have late checkout or early check in to ensure we had a room all day the day of our wedding (checkout was 11 am and check in time is 3 pm). They even went out of the way to send an email less than a week prior to our wedding to remind us that we will not have a room between 11-3 on the day of our wedding. It is clear that given their status they only care about large corporate events and couldn’t care less about weddings, even though the majority of the hotel was our guests. That being said the venue is gorgeous and the service was top tier.
