Off to a slow start but…
Pros:

When I arrived at 2:00 pm local time I asked if my room could be made available as I had several virtual meetings to attend and I did not want to take these calls in the lobby.
I was met with a dower non enthusiastic “nope” to my question about room availability.
I indicated that I am a Gold Elite member but that seemed to also fall flat.
I was told that check in time is 4:00 PM
I set up my laptop in the lobby and tried to do some work.
Approx 30 minutes later, I was told by the same now smiling person that my room was ready and an upgrade had been provided.
Wonderful response but hotels need to remember that first impressions in life matter and as a first time guest at this expensive hotel, I did not feel very welcomed receiving a grunt upon arrival and being made to feel that my presence was an inconvenience
Overall the hotel is lovely, quiet and full of meaningful amenities
I should mention that I had a rental vehicle and while the hotel handles this portion quite well, the valet service begins at 7:00 AM and I had a 6:00 AM flight. In my case, I was given instructions to go and find my car at the hotel’s lot across the street and that was a demanding task at 4:30 AM to try and locate my car. Make note of this inconvenience if you have an early flight like I did.

Excellent location nice hotel
Pros:

This hotel is in a good location and is very comfortable. The hotel restaurant/bar was very nice and we had a very enjoyable meal. We had a nice room and stayed 3 nights.

Cons:

Sadly our room was not cleaned on the last 2 nights which I can completely live with but our coffee facilities were not replenished and this is more annoying and a fundamental of a hotel stay.
