5/5 Excellent

"The staff was so friendly and very helpful. The valet gentleman remembered my name the next day which was very impressive considering the hotel was completely booked. The property is under construction which was a bit inconvenient but understandable. The room was spacious and very modern with a very comfortable bed. They provided reusable water bottles and had a filtered water station on our floor which dispensed flat or sparkling water. Very convenient as it was pretty the days we were there. "
