Will be back, the comfort and lovely man that parked our car for us.
Pros:

The comfort was great, room 1305 ! Beautiful and big, little chairs very comfortable and lots of pillows

Cons:

The lady on the front desk yelling at the lovely gentleman that our car for us downstairs, was awful to hear.
The smell of dirty deep fryer all through the reception and bar when we arrived at 8:30pm. Leave the exhaust fan on longer is the hot tip ! The smell was disgusting. U could smell it coming in the front door.
