The room itself was nice for $150 a night but it does not include daily room service and you have to pay $30 a night for parking. Was promised a wine bottle each night which they never provided.

Great property. Friendly staff. Clean and nice room layout. Shower knob was broken in my room, but they fixed it within a couple days. Cards stopped working a few times and would have to keep going back down to fix. All in all it was a great stay.

The property is fairly nice and modern and clean. The staff was exceptionally friendly. The beds are way too soft and the worst pillows I have ever had in a hotel. I asked to have the linens changed after the first night because they smelled like body odor, not sure they were changed on the bed closest to the bathroom when we checked into the room. Overall it was an okay stay but I would not retunr in the future.
