We received excellent service From the valets to the front desk attendants and the concierge. Everyone was pleasant and helpful. The room was immaculate as was the gym. We liked the $20 beverage credit and made use of it with a bottle of wine at the bar. The coffee on offer in the library area in the morning was alsovery good. All in all an excellent stay

The furniture and carpet could stand to be updated. There was a lot of noise from the room next door so better soundproofing is needed.
