Everything was great. A little expensive but we found that for our family room it was actually 2 rooms with a connecting door. So we had plenty of space.

What I liked most was responsiveness! After being placed in a smoking room near an elevator, all it took (next morning) was informing staff that I’d requested the opposite and by evening a new room for the last two nights was provided. It was wonderful!
