You will love this hotel- lobby area (morning coffee, evening wine hour, plenty of seating), very spacious gym, and the rec room (basketball, bowling lanes, games, etc)- made for a fun long weekend. I loved the valet crew/system. You use a QR code and the guys bring up your vehicle quickly with a smile on their face. The price is a bit much ($28 a day plus tip) but it was super convenient. All of the staff (housekeeping/hostess/valet/etc) were all very friendly. It made for a nice trip!

Beautiful. Elevators. Art deco. Service. Food. All above and beyond expectations. Only downside was the room thermostat that wouldn’t go below 67 degrees for a good night sleep. Too warm with the beddings.
