The property is still under heavy refurbishment, so areas of the hotel weren’t useable. Our room was ok, missing a microwave and bedding when we arrived, but they fixed that.

Over Price for What it Offer - Money Grab
The hotel is over price for what it offer, the front desk is not as helpful but door and bell personnel are very helpful and friendly. Overall, the hotel does not have integrity the website states that valet parking is included when you booked one bedroom suite. When I get there front desk inform me that it does not include valet. Plus over charge you for parking, they charge me $75 per day, if you park somewhere else its only $25 per day, over charge of $50... The Hotel is all in for money, the hotel has no pool, no restaurant, no lounge and charge you $400 per night.

The hotel was great. It was clean and up to date. The staff was courteous and attentive. My only displeasure was the valet parking service. It appears they use an off-site third-party parking vendor. It took 40 minutes for them to retrieve my car on the morning of checkout. This was a problem because we had to catch a flight out of Newark International and it almost made us miss our flight. Very unhappy with the valet service.

Property was being renovated and we were not told or aware of the situation nor were we offered a refund if we left as we had prepaid. A glass fixture fell from the ceiling in our room and scattered glass all over the floor, we asked to change rooms but to no avail and although they claimed to have completed a deep clean we had to put up with glass shards appearing all over the place and risking injuries. Never going near this hotel again.

The property is currently under construction and we were not aware. Makes for a little inconvenience but the improvements are needed. I think this hotel will be a great find once the renovations are done.

Under construction, so we couldn't take full advantage, but clearly a beautiful property and room was nice. Only problem is the air conditioner blowing onto the bed, making it hot and cold alternating all night, otherwise nice room with good bathroom and amenities, comfortable bed, no issues!
