Stayed on 21st floor. No info for room service (food), considering its was a conceirge service room. Room had not been dusted in awhile. Cleaning lady vacumed neighboring room 8am on on a Sunday morning. Security garage gate remained open for at least 12 hours during an event at hotel, which anyone could have entered. Other than that....it served its purpose. Not aware of amenities. Didnt spend much time on property.

The check-in process was smooth. We were greeted, stay was nice. When I was checking out both of the front desk staff did not greet or acknowledge me. The lady did not speak to me except you’re all set. Didn’t ask if I need a receipt or confirm if there’s any additional charges like parking fees since I asked.

Arrived after midnight. Staff was welcoming and check in was quick. Nice hotel & room. The motion lights on the base of the nightstands would light up throughout the night which was annoying & inconvenience but other than that it was ok.
