Room could have been cleaner, hair all over the bathroom. Room service breakfast was truly awful, timely, but awful. Location was great. Valet is less than desirable being attached to another hotel. The Tavern and coffee shop were severely understaffed for so many large groups/events happening. Run the shower for at least 10min before expecting any hot water.
