8.2/10 Very Good! (1,381 reviews)
The place was comfortable and they accommodated our late checkout request, which was very helpful. One of us had an event nearby that ran late, and we were able to hang out inside and outside in comfortable areas while we waited. The mattresses are lacking a bit - not the worst but not the best. ...

9/10 Wonderful! (1,006 reviews)
Staff was amazing, in room dining was delicious, and the views from the room and rooftop really topped the stay off. The breakfast was meh and the crust of the french toast was hard to cut and chew.

9.4/10 Exceptional! (797 reviews)
The staff and the room were great. There was some noise from the people above me that made it slightly less enjoyable of a stay, but overall not bad. Valet in pretty much a must at this place which I’m not a fan of especially since I had to retrieve my own vehicle in the morning since the attendant ...

Room smelled like cigarette smoke and when we told the front desk and their answer was no one was supposed to smoke in there. No offer to move us to another room. Breakfast was ok.
