It was an amazing view of the city. I might’ve got the best room in the hotel in my opinion. The front desk guy was nice and it was not crowded what so ever. It felt like an exclusive hotel.

Clean room, amazing views of the lake. The bathroom was a bit too cold It’s a bit of a maze to access the Hotel as it is part of an office building and you have to go through security clearance the first time you arrive

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
I was forced to go against my religious and personal ethics and beliefs. The only soap products (hand/face bar, body wash, shampoo, and conditioner) all contained animal derived ingredients. The products were made by Beekman and all contained goat's milk. When I called the front desk I was told there were zero alternatives. Late night on Thanksgiving left me no options to go out and buy soap.

Gorgeous and clean hotel! The staff was extra friendly and helpful--offered us the suite at the same price!! The views of the lake are extraordinary. The breakfast was underwhelming, but happy and cozy. Can't beat the location and the comfort!

Once we got into the hotel, everything was fine. It took alot of phone calls to find someone who could help us get from the parking garage into the hotel. Total lack of comunication on the hotel part. A simple sign with a phone number near the elevator in the parking garage wpuld have prevented alot of frustration

Everything was great, except the person for my check-in, seems that he was not really in the mood, and I felt I was bothering him more than anything else. But besides that, a perfect stay, the room was clean, amenities too, and the breakfast surprised me (in a good way) I was not expecting it.
