Disliked: Staff & service
Nice looking hotel poorly managed
Room was cold and the heater was blowing cold air even when you turn it up to 85. Shower was lukewarm. Lobby was freezing. This tells me the hotel is trying to safe costs by turning all heating in the building down. Front desk acted as if you were an inconvenience to them. Valet parking only. Though usually not an issue, on Sunday evening it took 20 minutes to have the car parked as there was a single parking attendant. When you leave luggage, there is no secure room for them. They just tell you to leave the bags in the corridor. Overall, not a great experience because of poor management.

Clean, good location, quiet, large room, very nice lobby. Kianti’s Pizza and Pasta Bar was a great place for dinner. The only problem was a self-important valet parking attendant who was rude. I forwarded my complaint to the hotel and they received it in a responsible way. I’d stay here again.
