I requested a city view and we didn’t get that. Everything else was nice. Pay $85 for valet is ridiculous. But it was nice that we didn’t have to worry about driving.

I called the desk due to a buzzing noise that would go on and off. They sent a person from engineering. He said it was because I had the air conditioner on? I turned the thermostat up. It was 11:00 at night. The buzzing did not stop. I eventually completely turned it off so I could sleep. Meaning we did not have heat.

The room was dark. Lacked proper lighting. Felt like a cave. We never got the room cleaned completely. The trash wasnt emptied. The heat didnt work even after we complained . We moved to a different room. The heat still didnt work. The staff at breakfast was cranky. Refused to make a latte but used the machine to heat water. Overall i dont recommend. Will never stay there again.

The toilet ran all night, it wouldn’t flush, the key don’t work at first I had to come up and down to find that out. Loud noises in hallway, and the worst park I had to park in a garage and pay $46.00 just for less than 12 hours of being there on top of the room
