Very Disappointed

I thought I was going to be staying at a luxurious hotel and instead got something sub standard. My original room was dirty, and in desperate need of maintenance. Light fixtures were literally falling off the walls. Management changed my room after complaining and moved me next door to a room with a barking dog. The halls and room had a very strange odor that smelled like chlorine. There was no in-room wifi or business lounge. You had to take your computer and sit in the lobby to do work. The tv appeared to be 20 years old, and neither movie channel worked properly. All-in-all the staff tried to be very accommodating, but there's not much they can do when their facility is in such terrible need of upgrading. I will not ever stay at this hotel again.

Expensive to eat

Hotel is part of a shopping mall with a Macys so that's very convenient. The only restaurant (Shulai)s verity expensive and not worth the cost and you are better leaving the hotel for a meal.

Wonderful stay

We arrived tired and hungry after a long day. The hotel staff was very helpful and our room was clean, elegant and comfortable. We were also very pleased with the delicious food and service at the bar at Shula's. We had a wonderful stay and highly recommend this hotel
