This was a return trip for my birthday. I stayed there once before and really liked the hotel s location and amenities. Hotel is still very clean and well kept with comfortable beds. My issue this particular time was with the staff. The first evening at the rooftop bar we felt kind of over looked and discriminated against. I figured maybe i was grumpy from my long drive and wasn't seeing the situation clearly so we just paid are bill and left. The next afternoon we went back to have a quick bite before going of to our other activities and it pretty much confirmed the ill feeling of discomfort the night before. After bringing it to the attention of the staff they were apologetic and offer to comp our meals. I was agitated and know longer wanted to eat there as i didn't feel comfortable bring treated with disregard. I explained to the manager that we were late for an event not interested in any meals or drinks. When i returned later that evening there was an open bottle of wine a dessert platter and apology letter. While i appreciate the effort, my door was closed with a do not disturb marker outside. My anxiety kicked in realizing that my privacy and been violated. This made me and my lady very uncomfortable. After speaking with the night manager who was already aware of the event they moved us to another room.

For management I was a bit disappointed in the lack of space to place and keep open one normal sized bag for each of us. I used the bench and she used the chair. A luggage rack would have worked and there was room for one. I would have asked for one if I was staying longer. The hanging area is very small and it made it a challenge to access the safe.
