Amazing hotel. Everyone I encountered was professional and caring. Our room was crazy huge although all are not. We were granted a welcomed surprise upgrade!!! The hotel restaurant is second yo none!!! High end hotel with mid-west friendly staff makes a perfect combination. I love high end. I don't love stuffy.
