The property wash excellent. The difference of a 4 and 5 for this stay is there were no cups on my last day of stay. Team members seem nice but not friendly. Example, they barely said good morning or hello. Some of the employees appear to be on their phone. Not sure if it was business related. The valet person on duty was very nice. Got the door for me on multiple occasions. Very easy to get a 5 with very minimal turnaround.
