Look elsewhere, good location, but that's it
There was buildup of shampoo on the shower floor. The kind that would only happen if the room is rarely cleaned well. The toilet stopped working once and, even after 'fixed', it was still in poor condition. One of two elevators was out during our stay. The indoor pool was freezing cold and not clean. The service in the restaurant was atrocious. There was nobody there and I still couldn't get service. My wife asked for hot water for tea, was given some kind of hot brown water. After we asked what it was, the waitress said she was sorry and didn't know how to work the machine. Ok, but why not just say that instead of handing my wife whatever the hell came out of the machine without a word until we said something? The location is very good, but the hotel failed to deliver what was advertised on virtually every other level.

Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
Front desk and cleaning services were fantastic. The hostess in the morning was rude and would not make eye contact or communicate with us so we walked out of the restaurant in lobby. Walls were paper thin and could hear everything. No storage in the room. Only one drawer and no other place to put clothes. Overall disappointing experience.

Vallet is confusing. It should be stated more clearly that you are to park and block the hydrant momentarily while waiting for vallet. Otherwise pleasant.

Great location; mediocre stay
Elevator out of order, staircase, dirty, cluttered and dangerous. Bathroom with a shower curtain that did not cover. No one at the front desk on check-in. No breakfast included. Late checkout was difficult to come by. As a Bonvoy member, I was disappointed.
