9/10 Wonderful! (1,000 reviews)
The room was wonderful, comfortable and well set up, and my dog was welcomed. I had an odd experience of the thermostat not allowing the temp to go down cooler for sleeping though, and then no hot water in the shower the next morning. They were very apologetic and provided us with extra Reward points in compensation.
It is a wonderful hotel and restaurant and great location.
The garage signage is very poor however, to determine parking relative to elevators and then elevator lobbies are not well signed to know how to return to your car. That said, I'd certainly stay there again!
