The room was very clean. The only thing I was disappointed with was not being able to get a fresh cup of coffee in a room. There is a Kurig but only two little teas for two cups. Staff were very friendly and accommodating. Bar tenders and Kendrick were so fun to talk to and drinks were great!!

There needs to be more flexibility on the room cleaning service. Full service ends at 1 pm which does not work when you’re leaving the room a little late. A kettle in the room would be appreciated
