Room was in great condition loved the city view. However, I think at this time they had something going on. I timing was off. There were a lot of kids running around in the lobby and the wait time for the elevator was ridiculous. However the hotel was nice.

Excellent customer service from front desk host, Devin. Beautiful hotel, however I would recommend an upgrade to the rooms due to carpet stains, no full length mirrors, and resurfacing needs in the bathroom. The air conditioner was also not working to full capacity which left the room very stuffy.

They gave me the wrong room. When I walked in, there was a lady changing to get ready for her Christmas event. She cursed me out and said please don’t hurt me. I was mortified. The most embarrassing thing ever checking into a hotel like this. I would like compensation for this horrible experience.
