Generally everything was very good. It was under construction while we were there, which means we didn't get to see the beautiful lobby or order from Starbucks.

Our stay here was great overall. Room was spotless, and the staff couldn’t have been nicer—they were super courteous. There was some remodeling going on but they made a serious effort to limit any inconvenience. Solid spot, we will come back.
