Highly disappointed with our stay.
Pros:

Beds were comfortable.

Cons:

For starters are room was not ready at 3:00 and we had to wait until after 5:00 to check into our room. We had an event at 6:00 and it gave us no time to be ready. The front desk offered us a $50 credit towards their restaurant to which I replied that does US absolutely no good as we wouldn't even be able do you lies their restaurant during our stay. They said the room had to be inspected after it had been supposedly cleaned. There was still crumbs and sticky soda on the desk. It had not been wiped down. There was still coffee spills around the coffee maker which wasn't properly stocked. The garment steamer which we tried to use poured water and wouldn't work. There was some kind of banquet room being used for parties both nights with music bumping loudly until 11:00 p.m. we did grab two drinks at the bar one night. I asked for a Irish coffee and what I got was a scalding hot cup of coffee that I couldn't drink for 40 minutes that had a shot of Jameson in it for $17. The drink wasn't even made correctly. The hotel.clerk informed us we had a $12 credit for the snack area. She failed to tell us it was for a one time purchase for up to $12.. All we got was a soda due to her not informing us it was a one time purchase. The written info for this was given to us ayer the fact. Highly disappointing stay. For the money you pay to stay here, this could stay elsewhere and at least get a continental breakfast. Overpriced with no concern for the inconvenience they caused.

Pros:

The staff was great. The food was tasty from the restaurant. The design was very chic and the location was near lots of attractions and restaurants.

Cons:

The floor in the room needed to be mopped. I wish there was a pool instead of the meditation space. There is not enough closet space.
