From my arrival Zaharia checked me in! She has the heart of leadership, her question to me was” how can I make your stay better?” And she did! I want to thank her for her caring and sharing, I was there for the jazz band competition, and the band from Huston Tollison was the first winner, my reason for being there! No issues with my room I want the hotel to get top rating. Leroy and Antoine from the concierge were very professional and such a pleasure to talk to!!

I was not informed on any of the benefits I paid for. Nothing was relayed at check in. Not even where the elevators are, which are hidden. Didnt get to use any of the extra benefits I paid for because no one informed us. Took 4 hours to get someone up to the room to fix the tv that would not turn on. The front desk girl was dismissive. I paid alot for a room and was not notified of any of the benefits I had. Waste of money.
