I was very comfortable during my stay and loved the bathrobe!
Pros:

I booked my travel 2 weeks ahead of my stay and selected a king room with a balcony. When I arrived, I was informed that the room I booked was not available. I specifically selected the Publisher because of the balcony option. Had that not been important to me I could have stayed at the Courtyard which was less expensive and actually closer to my meeting location on Thursday. After some shuffling the desk clerk was able to put me in a beautiful corner room with 2 queen beds and a balcony, AND for my trouble, comped my breakfast! She was very pleasant and breakfast was delicious.

Cons:

I thought the hotel photos showed seating on the balcony and there was none on mine. Maybe it was only select rooms?
