I was attending a convention with 1,000+ people. They only had 2 of 4 elevators working. It was chaos and a lot of frustrated people. Hopefully they can get those repaired soon. Wish they would have gotten their technicians there on Sat morning when they realized there was a problem.

We selected this property because it was convenient. It was a wonderful experience! We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary and were treated like royalty by all staff - from front desk, to parking, to dining, to housekeeping. The time on property was safe, restful, relaxing, and provided not only a good night's rest, but also, because of its location, was able to serve as an easy, convenient "hub" for our activities in the area: shopping, entertainment, and fine dining away from the property. The management and all staff were very courteous, personable, knowledgeable, and professional as well as efficient! We will definitely be back!
