Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
The property was in good condition, and the room was clean, however the size of the room was less than expected as I was told I was in a premium room. Bed was comfortable, valet and two initial front desk representatives were nice and accommodating. Checking out was a bit unpleasant, the representative was a bit dismissive of me and I actually had to call to have the refund an incorrect charge. 3 charges appeared on my statement which should have only been one. Upsides: - Quality - Quiet - Comfortable Downsides: - Room size - Unpleasant checkout - Double charged
