Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel was amazing. Rooms are great and comfortable beds. The only thing I would suggest is better signage for the two hotels. Maybe something in the elevators and maybe wrap the doors from the inside explaining the split hotel. It is a bit confusing but otherwise the hotel is great!! I’ll definitely stay there again if the time comes.

Pillows are hard, gives sore neck. Disappointed in the price, it doubles every time I need to stay there. Breakfast was okay but should be extended hours and more selection. But worth $300 per night
