Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Hotel, staff and amenities all very good. The shower floor needs a good scrub with something like sift scrub to minimize the 'dirt' stains. Bathroom was clean. We were put off at arrival and unpacking our car that there was a homeless women sitting at the entrance and immediately asking to speak to me and requesting funds. Another individual started talking to me and I walked away. We support the homeless condition as volunteers, grate patrol, donation of food,feeding the homeless but prefer not to be approached when on vacation at the hotel at which we are paying to stay. Though not us but this could make customers feel uneasy about staying at the venue.

Overall Good
We enjoyed our stay. Great rooftop bar and views are amazing from the top. Walking distance to some restaurants and bars. There is valet parking that you pay for daily and we spent another $200 at the hotel for drinks, breakfast, etc. In room instant coffee is terrible, but hotel provides two cans of water. And toilet paper is one-ply. I can't do that; I'm two-ply all the way. Advice: be prepared to pay for extras and bring your own toilet paper. My husband now wants to make sure we bring our own because of this incident.
