| - I was a hotel guest and went on a Wednesday night with expectations of slightly overpriced drinks but great music to dance to. They said they were open for dancing, so why would I expect otherwise?
To begin, the door guy was an epic jerk. Zero smiles, only obligatory courtesy that was obviously forced. Didn't smile. Pissed my husband off. I let it slide because I was still in a good mood at that point.
I was met with a drink menu that was inflated by $6 per drink just because it was past 10PM. Instantly pissed me off. It's the same drink. Whatever. I ordered one, not to be a sourpuss. It was good, but certainly not great and not worth the $15 I was charged.
The music was house music. Great for a lounge. Totally not appropriate for something touted as a club. You simply can't move to it. When I asked the DJ if he would be playing something a little more familiar with words to it, or something that's on the radio with a remix or something, he gave me attitude. He said snottily: "I was hired because I don't play that." Oh - sorry bud, didn't mean to step on your Pumas.
Would I go back? Nope. Do I think it's a horrible place? No, and it's entirely possible that on a Saturday the music is better. Our waitress told me that the music was different every day.
The service was very friendly though - I have to say. Our waitress was very sweet and all smiles. Also, when I went to the front desk of the hotel to ask about another venue that was a little more contemporary, the woman there couldn't have been nicer. She pointed me to a place down the street. The lounge upstairs at the hotel was playing better music, but wasn't quite "dance appropriate."
My advice would be to skip a Wednesday if you actually want to dance or call ahead to find out what music is being played that night.
