The location was great. The staff was very attentive.
The restaurant was not open for dinner. There was no commissary as the website claimed.

Facilties are comfortable and I got a really nice room with a view of the city. Most comfortable bed I have slept on (will reach out to them to ask about the model. Haven't slept this well in a while!) bathrooms are clean and updated. The feel of the hotel is excellent
Frankly everything was great. I wish there was a different way to work the destination fee / restaurant deduction as this is a nightmare for reports and reimbursements but other than that it was all really smooth.
