This is a high quality hotel. Only discomfort came because the AC system in our room was unable to cool room enough for it to be comfortable.

Although I did spot a few hairs and tiny black stains on the bed linens, those minor (and fairly common) imperfections weren't enough to dock a star from otherwise very clean, comfy, quiet place to spend night.
