Positives: Staff was really nice . The room was very clean . The restaurant and the bar were both awesome and its great food and drinks .
Negatives: Its a very nice hotel just very dated . I wish the tv was a smart tv . It was just old school tv where you have to turn to a channel to see the guide . . The bathroom had no vent so it got really hot in there when you took a shower .

Positives: The location.
Negatives: The bathroom mirror and makeup mirrors were so high that I could not see myself. It would have been okay if the makeup mirror was adjustable to move out more and down, but it was not; it moved only back and forth. Thus, my scores less than 10.

Positives: Location was great for our event and valet was fast. Front desk were polite, helpful, and timely even at busy times
Negatives: Rooms left something to be desired. Furnishing were worn out, desk chair had a dirty slip cover over it, bed and shower both had several variations of other guest hairs in them. Bathroom floor corners were also dusty/dirty. Beverage cooler smelled

Positives: The lobby was lovely and I liked the onsite food options. Staff was always friendly.
Negatives: Did not meet star and website expectations. When you pulled the sheet back there was hair everywhere and the AC did not work. There was a hole in the ceiling in the bathroom and TV did not go above 60 which is understandable but Im hard of hearing.
