Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The room was immaculate. The facility showed that it was well maintained and cared for. Every employee had a great attitude and took pride in taking care of the guests. The lobby was a combination of reception, a little restaurant with snacks, and finger foods, as well as a full-service bar, and somehow they made that space work, and it was very pleasant. The breakfast was very good. I can't think of any reason not to stay here again. 100% recommend.

The room was clean. Our second visit, we stayed 2 nights. Staff came in and made one bed and emptied trash. That was odd. Desk staff assumed that everyone knows the "rules" of using the card key for the elevator.
