Awesome service (minus the microwave)
The service was amazing! The hotel itself was beautiful. The staff was perfect also! Me and my girlfriend enjoyed our stay. Now the only thing that I will say that the rooms need are microwaves. We brought food back and didn’t have anywhere to heat up the food that was in the fridge. Other than that, it was great!

The staff at the Admiral was beyond kind and welcoming. The hotel itself was super eclectic in style and clean. We were given sparkling wine upon arrival and our room was perfectly clean. We dined at LeMoyne’s and the dinner/ambiance was top notch. It was our first wedding anniversary and the restaurant went as far as signing an anniversary card for us. The food was amazing and the service at both the hotel and restaurant was fantastic. Cannot wait to come back.

The makeovers on this hotel are very nice. My only complaint was the lack of vending machines or ability to purchase something to drink. Our flight got in late and we didn't want to walk several blocks to find a soda or bottled water.
