      First to Review

      Visiting the area for the first time and am here for a wedding. I had my hair, make up and nails done with Maria and I couldn't be happier! She did an awesome job! I got so many compliments!
      It is a small place which was great and she was very nice to chat with :)
      The price was very reasonable as well.

      Highly recommend!

      I've only been to Lloyd's 3x now but I've had a great experience so far. And I think it's important to add that I was referred by many people. I have tried many different vets and have not been satisfied with any in my area but I think I have found my new vet!
      I brought my dog in for the first time and I initially requested Dr Blumenstock aka Dr Claire and she was fully booked. I went with Dr. Clark who was amazing. I brought my dog in for anxiety, luxating patella and upset stomach issues. She spent over an hour with my dog and went over everything about her. We ended up finding out through her thorough exam that my dog was walking and standing weird because her muscle was bothering her, not even her knees, and that was something several vets had missed. We did a few sessions of laser therapy and she seems to be better!

      As far as the anxiety and tummy issues go- Dr Clark said she'd go over everything and give me a call with a customized treatment plan for my dog. She wanted to discuss diet and find the underlying issue in the body that could be causing these issues. She called me twice and each time we spoke for 20 mins. I've never had a conversation over the phone with a vet that lasted longer than a minute or two. We went over my dogs diet, supplements to add and she explained everything to me in detail about what each ingredient helped with and why it's important for my dogs behavior patterns and health concerns. That was extremely helpful.
      She said I could keep my dog on her current supplements which are probiotics, natural calming powder and a supplement for arthritis and knee issues. The only reason I'm not giving 5 stars here is because they prescribed my dog a probiotic for her tummy issue and said to stop the probiotic I was giving for the time being...BUT if you look at the ingredients of the one they prescribed it's actually worse than the one I had at home. After they gave my dog the first dose she immediately had gas- burping, farting and even leaking when she was just laying down- her stomach issue actually got worse. She's never had gas in the year and a half I've had her and she's definitely never had leaking diarrhea in her sleep... So, I looked at the ingredients to find that there was salt, corn starch and soy as one of the first ingredients. No wonder she felt worse... some ingredients I had no idea what they were there and there were some probiotics in there at the bottom but the stuff I have at home has only probiotics and all of the other ingredients I know what they are and are good for dogs. Not sure why they'd prescribe that stuff but I never gave it to her again.

      Came here for the first time for a friends wedding. Not impressed at all...

      We stayed in the hotel. The person at the front desk was not very nice when we checked in and she had an attitude when I asked if we were getting a welcome bag from being a wedding guest. She replied with an attitude that she was just going off the list the bride gave us.

      Hotel was very expensive. The room is the smallest hotel room I've ever stayed in. Bathroom looks redone but the room itself is not.

      It felt like it was 80 degrees in the room and we asked twice if we could get it cooled off, which by the way it took 15 minutes to speak to the front desk because the one person working was on the phone the entire time. And there were 3 other parties behind me waiting to check in. When we finally spoke to someone she was rude. She told us to open the windows until it cooled off. We did that. When it got dark we closed the windows since we are on the first floor and there's no screen. We went back to let them know it's hot again and they gave us a fan.

      Honestly, the fan helped with the noise as well. You can literally hear everything going on outside of your room and outside of the hotel. It was super loud when we arrived and laid down to take a nap because we were exhausted from traveling. It was loud when it was time to go to bed at midnight. It was loud at 6am! You can hear a creek in the floor every time the upstairs neighbor made a move, we can hear everything they're saying and everything our neighbors next to us say too.

      There's no mini fridge in the room. The tv has no remote and is on a desk and not in the best spot so we couldn't really watch it. We watched a movie on our iPad which was easier to see.

      The only good things about this place are the view and the food. The food was expensive but very good and at that point I was actually not expecting it based on my experience so far.

      Unfortunately, I won't be coming back to stay in the hotel.

      This place was great!!!
      Went on a Monday night at 7pm. we were seated right away but the place was packed.
      Staff was great- we had not one but 2 waitresses check on us and make sure all was good and okay.
      Food was delicious and pretty unique. Vegetarian options, too!

      I hate writing reviews when they're not 5 stars :( I try to give businesses good feedback so I will do that too...
      The overall ambiance was good and chill. Staff was nice and organized.
      I saw my favorite band Blue October's lead singer Justin Furstenfeld. It was small and that's always great, but only when the audience doesn't ruin the show.... Justin really puts on an awesome show. He's heartfelt, fun and hilarious. But just because he is talking to the audience doesn't mean he is waiting for people to scream inappropriate and ridiculous things out while he's trying to tell his very powerful and emotional life story. The audience was loud and distracting. I feel like there should have been a staff person inside the theatre to keep the crowd quiet.
      The other annoying, and probably the most important, part was the noises coming from above the theatre. It was really loud and distracting. Sounded like someone was maybe sweeping upstairs and then banging, not sure what was going on but it was off and on throughout the first half of the show.
      Annnnd not that big of a deal I guess but the Bathrooms were dirty. And last but not least the bar tender only filled up my drinks half way

      Overall I was still able to enjoy the show even with the distractions but that is because the artist was so great and he was able to keep focused and keep our attention on him. I just wish it was at a different venue...
