Staff were helpful, amicable, friendly, and accommodating. I spent my birthday here and they gave me something as a courtesy/complimentary for the occasion which I truly appreciated. The drinks were great at the bar and the junior suite was great. The room was cold and would not change temp but eventually their engineer came and fixed the issue in 5 min. Only real complaint was that I had asked valet to keep my car close as I was going to leave for dinner soon, he said he would keep it out front. I came down about 10 minutes after and they were pulling away with my car, no call to the room or any communication to ensure I was still coming down or not or at least tell me they were going to park it. They didn’t count it as an in and out thankfully an I had to wait a bit for my car to come when needed but otherwise the stay was wonderful and I would return.
