Loud!

Sherrie at the front desk was great, but house keeping was not. They were as loud as could be first thing in morning and proud of it, even when I said something to them. Parking was also very confusing with all the renovations taking place.

It's all so new ...

First time back since they started the renovations (which are still going on). It's beautiful! Love the new decor and the bed was amazingly comfortable. There were a couple of "new" things in the room that needed attention and they took care of everything. The drinks at the bar are still amazing as is the bartender.

It was very loud. It might just be the room placement. Near elevator, the doors slammed and made a lot of noise. Woke up throughout the night. I stayed on the 4th fl.
