Jul 12, 2025Without this experience We would give 5 stars
My wife and I stayed at this hotel from June 26th to June 30th 2025. We were attending a wedding with friends, on the first day my wife fell in the bedroom, due to a step down. Despite being verbally told about it and a small placed warning sign, that’s not sufficient to prevent an accident, she suffered a sprained instep, the incident was reported and we went to the nurses station. After not being recognized and waiting for over an hour, she came out without apology and an unfriendly attitude to tell us she’s dealing with a previous patient. Not telling us what would be our wait time we left. This was our only bad experience, as everyone else at the hotel were accommodating, helping and courteous. We finally spoke to a manager in charge and still await his response from management.

Jul 11, 2025Whether business or pleasure, the Joia is top tier.
Although I did not get to enjoy all the amenities of the hotel during my stay, I must say that it was a wonderful experience staying at Joia. The staff were incredibly professional, courteous, and pleasant. My room was amazingly comfortable. The butler service was excellent (thank you to Ralston and Kadeen for their wonderful customer service). All in all the Joia offers excellent accommodations and services.
