Liked the texting option with the staff, but the experience was better with the weekday v. the weekend desk personnel and valets. Tyler was excellent and exceeded my expectations. Wish he could have been there for the weekend.

Most of the staff were very friendly. I thought the room was very clean but a little too cold for me.,

I liked the old fashioned atmosphere and decor. I liked the bar but I thought the drinks were overpriced. The service was excellent. My room was out of tissues, and I called the desk and there was a box of tissues within five minutes at my door.
