The staff were exceptionally polite and gracious. The room we got was spacious and well equipped, however there were some spots between the bed and night stand that didnt seem to have been cleaned in a while (dirt, paper, garbage from a previous stay). Otherwise, the room was comfortable and clean. The restaurant service was top tier with tasty breakfast that we enjoyed daily. Additionally, the bar was well stocked and the bartenders well-trained and courteous. I enjoyed my stay and will return in tbe future!

The only issue we encountered was a staff member let himself into our room "looking for keys he left." He knocked and entered immediately without waiting for us to open the door. It was extremely invasive and unprofessional.

Mediocre expensive room.
The room was clean and spacious. When the heat came on and turned off, the unit made a really loud noise. The bathroom amenities weren’t great. I didn’t feel it was worth the nightly room rate of $839.
