Pros +
- The beautiful architecture. The staff were incredibly friendly as well.
- The morning staff were wonderful.
- Beautiful decor
Cons -
- The valet parking situation. I had to drive around the block multiple times throughout my trip because each time it was backed up because there is nowhere to pull up. The valets were super friendly and helpful-it wasn’t their fault. Just a poor design.
- Housekeeping knocking on the doors early in the morning
- No
