Breakfast is plentiful, but very bland. 6 elevators and only one works at a time, due to the amount of people I waited over 13 minute's for an elevator while the other 5 stayed unused. Great location but a bit over priced for the size of the room. Skybar seems a bit chaotic at times. Trying to dine with several people walking through. Very pricing indeed.

Checking in is absolutely horrid. This hotel actually does not allow you access to your room until the actual 3:00pm check in time, I’ve never experienced this with any other property. Usually whatever time you get in, you check in and have access to your room. The check in process is completely disorganized, having to continuously check with the front desk. Luggage room is a nightmare. Hotel is clean and amenities are very good. Staff was nice and helpful. Just seems they can not handle large crowds or their busy season.

It’s a great hotel in a great location looking over the square. It’s beautiful, big, and busy. Units were clean and modern. Beds were comfortable. Breakfast was the highlight, it’s delicious and they offer a big spread. Roof top is amazing, views are top notch. The only feedback I’ll offer is to supply blankets in the rooms. With the AC, sometimes it could be too cold at night. All ins all a 5 star location.
