We had a fantastic stay! The room was spotless and offered a great view of the city. It was very spacious, and the bathroom was large and stocked with all the amenities we needed. It even included a bathrobe, which was a nice touch. The room also came with two complimentary water bottles (as indicated by a sign) and complimentary coffee pods; everything else was available for purchase. We used the valet service and would recommend requesting your vehicle ahead of time, especially during busy periods, as it can take a little while for them to bring it up. Overall, it was a great experience!
