A Decent Stay

attentive staff early check-in pool size gym size
The hotel staff was attentive! A young lady remembered my walk and presented a plate of cheese, ham, and nuts upon check-in. I arrived at 7 a.m., and they let me check in early. This was priceless. The car service was also great and I used it three times.
My room had a view of big pipes. The pool and gym are tiny. I do not believe they have better rooms.

Excellent Hotel Amenities and Service

great attention lovely area fantastic value
The staff displayed great attention to detail. The common areas outside are very lovely. The room had Red Level privileges and was fantastic. I found it offered great value for what I paid.
I experienced a poor ratio between the price and value. I paid a significant amount per night for a small room. The view from the room overlooked large pipes and it detracted from the experience. The pool was small. I also found the gym to be quite small.
Service

The staff was amazing and offered excellent service. Many staff members deserve recognition for their friendly service. Every detail was well executed I noticed. I can't wait to return.
