perfect location helpful staff nice rooftop pool room unavailability slow valet long waiting time
The location is perfect. The staff was amazing. David at the front desk was particularly helpful. The rooftop pool and bar were a very nice addition to the stay.
The room we booked was not available for our first night. Valet parking was very slow. I waited 40 minutes to have our car parked upon arrival.

Satisfactory stay

lobby design hotel information other location breakfast option slow service extra money
The hotel has a lobby design. I think it was an eye opener. Latisha and Naomi greeted me. They provided information about the hotel and other locations.
The breakfast inclusive option seemed like a rip off. I had to pay extra money. The service was very slow. We waited over 30 minutes for coffee.
