Disliked: Staff & service
Customer service is terrible. If you do not ask for amenities like offered bottled water and snacks you will not receive them. Even if you pay in full they block your card $100-$200 per night of your stay for possible incidentals. On day of checkout which is noon, housekeeping knocked on door at 9:30 and asked are you leaving I need to clean your room!

Th staff is as so warm and welcoming. From the doorman that opened the car door for us to valet park and the staff at check in and the bell hops who assisted with luggage storage, they all were so nice! The room was clean and updated, comfortable beds and thrilled to finally see a steamer instead of an iron to use lol. We truly enjoyed our stay!

Very friendly and helpful staff. The room was spacious, quiet and cozy. Our only complaint is that the lights outside were very bright from an empty building across the road, felt like daytime all the time. The blackout blinds helped a lot but still had light coming in at night. However this was beyond the hotel's control.
