    When I checked in the lady was very friendly she asked me why I was there and I told her we were celebrating my five-year anniversary. She winked at me and said she will arrange something special when we went out to dinner when we came back in there was rose petals a box of chocolate and a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator. I thought wow that is awesome Until I was charged for it the next day I did not ask for it. I did not arrange it I thought she was just being nice. I was not happy when I got the bill.

    I was not happy with the location being in the middle of downtown. I’m not used to looking out the window and being surrounded by high rises.

    Early in the morning the housekeepers made a lot of noise in the hallways. They were yelling down the hall to each other. When knocking on doors they were very loud slamming their carts and when closing doors.

    I am not a breakfast person. But, the restaurant at the hotel had something I wanted Calamari. I went to the hotel restaurant and was told they have not served it for awhile. I was told the menu online was old. But, the area had a nice selection of restaurants to choose from.

    Didn't like that they didn't have a water station like we experienced in other properties and other hotels.

    The hotel is designed / decorated beautifully. The staff were friendly and nice. I found the rooms to be beautifully comfortable.

    There were a lot of teams on site for various sporting events. I was there with my child for another event for which I had to sign a paper indicating she wouldn’t be disruptive, which I understand the need for it overall. However, kids were running in the hallways, jumping on and off elevators, screaming down the halls, and dropping trash on the floor. No one was monitoring these children well after midnight. Please do not make families sign a behavior contract (especially with just a parent and one athlete) if you’re still going to let kids run around the hotel.

    Clean and helpful staff

    Despite asking for a quiet room, we were placed in a room right next to the elevator.

    Decent gym, though could be better with more space; location.

    The parking garage seemed sketchy, and when we arrived to check-in, the young front desk lady never said hi and took 10 seconds to look up at us and even acknowledge us. It seemed like we were bothering her. She’s definitely not someone you want at a front desk and the face of the hotel.

    Great location, very clean, comfortable king suit, nice amenities.

    Your snacks are a little on the spendy side. I ordered a salad with salmon from the restaurant at open. Just under 40 minutes is a little long if your not having to catch fish first.

    The guys at the front desk were outstanding. Friendly, engaging and very helpful. Everything else was fine.
