First room we were allocated had a terrible amonia smell. After calling reception we were moved very quickly to another room which was greatly appreciated. This room however didnt have a working bathroom fan. One big recommendation is to pack your pillow. The pillows in the room were terrible.

No alcohol in the room and was not able to get any cocktails delivered to the room. $40 each for a buffet breakfast felt expensive Valet was a bit annoying because there was no parks out the front to actually park our car for the valet to pick up Everything was prettt good! Skyline bar was great!
