This was a beautiful hotel. Gorgeous. Bathroom was amazing. Bed was comfortable. Amazing restaurants all around the area. Every single staff member I spoke to was fantastic. Also there were bodily fluid stains all over the couch as well as someone’s black thong in a drawer. And some of the stains were on pillows with zippers. I got a 10% discount, which… fine, but I spent much more than 10% of my trip sanitizing the room and covering up the couch. I didn’t feel like switching to another room would have been actually cleaner, just that the stains might have been hidden. For the price, that’s absurd. But everything else was so great, that I might consider staying there again. Which is really really saying something.

One ice machine in the building, it was broken. Advertised spa services were not included, but rather there was a spa and gym in the building theough a locked door you could pay per service. It was crowded due to all of the members of the public having access too. Hot tub was fine, but no swimming pool access (lane swim only by reservation with the spa). Room had no microwave to reheat food. No breakfast, the hotel openly tells you you can go to a restaurant as if that were a benefit. Minor stains in the carpet. Balcony was barely large enough to stand on, no seating. View was of the building across the street. Ended up spending my last vacation night at a Motel 8 and had better amenities for half the price.

No maintenance personnel after sunset.
The hotel and room was excellent, however, we had an issue with a clogged toilet and the hotel doesn’t have a house keeping or maintenance person after specific time. we called the front desk to request a person to unclogged the toilet and no one was available except the front desk person. I asked him to give me the plunger so I can unclog it myself, which he was not able to find one. I had to get up around 3 am to the lobby from the 4 th floor just to urinate at the lobby restroom. The front desk person finally left the plunger at our room at 7am and I finally unclogged the toilet my self.
