The hotel is beautiful but it really does not offer anything in the way of convenience. There is no business center so if you need something printed you have to arrange with the front desk. There isn't a convenience store so forget grabbing something quick to eat or drink and the only restaurant is expensive and fancy. The lobby is beautiful but not a place to work. They really could make better use of the space. I did use the gym (very nice) and the rooms are spacious and very modern.

Staff were wonderful, great location and facilities. The only negative issue we experienced was that the insulation for noise is lacking and people coming & going in the hallway at all hours was disruptive to our activities in the room ( talking, sleeping etc). It was not overly noisy individuals yet we heard every thing that was said & done in the halls
