Loved it really nice, staff was nice and welcoming , the only issue was the plumbing, the toilet flushed very slowly and we had to hold the handle down, and housekeeping never came to clean, and very slow with receiving towels, and ice machine on 16th floor didn’t work we have to go to anther floor or staff brought a bucket of ice to us, Overall very nice hotel and I would stay again.

Needs deep cleaning

The surfaces were cleaned well, but the carpet in the room was disgusting and looked like it has never been cleaned. You can clearly see the dirt track through the high traffic areas of the room. Service was great

Fees can get pricey here however , property is very nice & well kept, very convenient !!!! My only issue was my duvet insert was absolutely gross. The bed was made placing the insert in between two bed sheets and tucking them very tight. Coming from big brand hotels myself, very disappointing. However I would still give them a try and stay again! It was beautiful
