The staff was courteous, bar and restaurant open late and attached to the hotel. Your night shift guy of 14 years, was extremely helpful, courteous and a great conversationalist. The site is undergoing some maintenance, so there are smells of fresh paint in hallways and room. Our patio door was installed backwards, but still offered a great view. Elevators are slow, so may present a long wait time during busy times. I would return again, overall nice stay and accommodated my dogs.
