My family and I stayed here many times before. This property has significantly declined. No housekeeping over 4 days. Even when we asked for fresh clean towels... nothing. We asked for tissues.. nothing. We will never stay again

Very good

💯 polite, warm, efficient staff everywhere who went the extra step to be helpful. Bravo- front desk folks, bistro server and cook who adapted a dish for me, ( I appreciate the bistro a lot with minimal options nearby for a tired traveler), housekeeping! The marketplace options were decent and also nice to offer wine full bottles instead of.sub par single servings. NY has some good canned single serving wine options from their own wineries, so that would be a nice touch. My only comment is to provide a bathtub option in some rooms if possible, and the shower sprays water all over the floor when you turn it on and then get in. Maybe better quality coffee in the in room service. Great to have Starbucks in the bistro
