My room was not ready until 7pm… and I ask for 2 rooms next to each other even I have to pay extra for the room , because it’s was a corner room. The second room was not available, one of the front ladies was very rude I know it was not her fault but she didn't make the effort to try to compensate for their mistake.

Our stay was fantastic and the entire staff and property was great! However, they charge $33.00 per night for parking which I find outrageous and is like extortion because their are no other options. Shameful

The hotel was lovely. I wish I could have stayed longer. The only downside was the elevators were not sufficient for the amount of people there. I don't know if one was broken, but the wait was very long and often too full once it arrived at my floor.
