Disappointing for this Caliber of Hotel
The only thing the hotel needed was duvet on the bed and plush covers. For this caliber of hotel it needed to have it's A/C controls updated. There were things like that throughout the stay that was disappointing.

There is valet parking available, but you can park between the Hotel and the Aquarium. We ordered food service, and the Patty Melt on rye was awesome, and my wife had 12" pepperoni pizza. She loved it. The bottled water in the room is $6.00, just a heads up. But the staff was absolutely amazing and helpful in every way. Great job!
