It was an amazing view of the city. I might’ve got the best room in the hotel in my opinion. The front desk guy was nice and it was not crowded what so ever. It felt like an exclusive hotel.

Clean room, amazing views of the lake. The bathroom was a bit too cold It’s a bit of a maze to access the Hotel as it is part of an office building and you have to go through security clearance the first time you arrive

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I was forced to go against my religious and personal ethics and beliefs. The only soap products (hand/face bar, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner) all contained animal derived ingredients. The products were made by Beekman and all contained goat's milk. When I called the front desk I was told there were zero alternatives. Late night on Thanksgiving left me no options to go out and buy soap.
