The staff were absolutely amazing. So helpful for me and my family. They stored our bags all day after we checked out, hailed a cab and helped with separate reservations with ease. I had a hard time sleeping with the pillows the hotel had, but other than that the room was perfect and liked having the door to the bedroom along with a living area/sleep sofa. Would definitely stay here again!
