9/10 for me!

This place was tops, really! Overall I have only complaint: that the beds were far too firm- combined with very new, thick pillows I woke up with a very sore neck and back. I’m not sure if they’re just old, but I was not pleased with that factor. Otherwise the property is clean and modern, with the amenities we look for. The staff was professional. Front desk- at all hours- were courteous and helpful. Valet prices were very high for a truck, but the valets themselves were pros and good at their job. The Starbucks in the lobby is a great touch and, by the way, the ladies staffing it are SUPER! They made my 6 yo daughter feel like a little superstar and continued to do so throughout our stay. Other than a stiff back, we loved it!
