Nicely appointed hotel, but hidden resort fee and lack of service to resolve issues
Pros:

A very nice conversion of an old City Hall building into a hotel. Great location. The rooms were very nicely decorated, wonderful linens and amenities in room.

Cons:

Either guests were not informed on the Booking.com website at time of booking or I missed the fine print; but was surprised to be told upon check-in that there was to be a $30/day resort fee to be charged, where they offered some perks that we did not end up receiving - namely a $15 credit for food/beverage at the onsite restaurant and a ride-share credit. I had to catch an early flight checking out at 4:30am, so no time to dispute these things with the night reception desk. Very disappointed.

Also, I booked and was confirmed for 2 Queen beds. Upon check-in (after 4pm) we were given room key and sent on our way. When we got to the room, we found it to be 2 Full beds. And a lamp bulb cover was broken. Reported these 2 items to the front desk, and they seemed wholly uninterested in this feedback. Only explanation for room type was that “well, that must’ve been all we had when you checked in”. I explained, no one told us that at check-in, there was no response and no solutions offered. We were already there in the room and late for an activity, so just had to accept.

Disappointed in this lack of service for Bonvoy members.

Pros:

Location

Cons:

There were very few amenities for a "5 Star" hotel. The bedsheets were not ironed. There was no bath robe and no slippers. In my experience these are standard in a 5 Star hotel.

True disappointment for the money we had to pay.
Pros:

Location good! Even though outside of the hotel is dirty!

Shower has good pressure
Bed Comfy

Cons:

Staff unfriendly! Not willing to help!
Decor is unbelievably depressing!
Our room was super small that was supposed to be a city view that faced another building so much so that we had to dress with curtains closed
