Getting upgraded to a suite was wonderful, and our room was super quiet and clean. I also LOVE a room with a bathtub, so that was an even extra bonus. Going back tonight, so fingers crossed!

The room was spacious and the mattress great. The waterflow in the shower was strong and steady. The location was great and close to what I needed, and the front desk was great and so were the rest of the team. Good elevators.

Checked in very late at nite but it took over 10 minutes just to get the room key. Front desk person not very friendly and actually rude. Same person duty next morning at 7 when I checked out and her attitude hadn’t changed. Not even one smile. Not the right person greeting guests!!

There's construction ongoing that I wish I'd known about in advance. That said, the front desk staff is wonderful and the room is clean. No bar though.
