Everyone was very friendly. It was a packed hotel. The valet was very busy, but very friendly. The valet manager showed us how we could use our phone map for the trolly around town. That saved so much time. We will stay again and definitely recommend!

The elevator wasn't working when we arrived, so we got to use the freight elevator. Our guide was informative and attentive and shared a lot of history about the property while we waited for the elevator (for a long time). The room was lovely. The view was not. We were on the 5th floor and our room window opened to the air conditioning. It was ugly. We kept the drapes closed. The team was very professional and friendly. The bar was nice but understaffed - we came in for a drink after our concert. There was also a Reds game and a big wedding party. We felt awful for the staff - they really needed more help.
