That View…
Staff was friendly, room was clean, breakfast was fine, considering it was included; like a box lunch, but for breakfast. But the best thing was the view from the room. Seriously… is there nothing nicer to wake up to than that view?!

The Continental breakfast was very lacking. And the coffee situation was not ideal as well. One small pot with limited creamer choices for a large hotel like that? Was disappointing

Amazing hotel.. staff super attentive and solved any issues immediately. Kudos to the maintenance department employee who not only replaced our shower head immediately when we brought it to his attention, but went and got us coffee pods because we were out.
