Only needed to stay over 1 night, and everything was gorgeous, luxurious. Great front desk staff. Only drawback was the bathroom ceiling fan whistled and whined all night. Would’ve asked for another room but too tired from a long day of flying/driving.

Room 4442 was too noisy. I turned off the air conditioning to find out why it was so noisy. It felt like I fell asleep in a factory. I couldn't sleep all night. The hallway was noisy. I didn't have a good experience, we didn't rest or sleep.

The rooms are big and the finest quality fittings. One problem, I have never seen a hotel at this level that did not have a bar or restaurant.
