We had a very bumpy start where our double-queen room was not ready when we arrived (admittedly we were apparently early at noontime but never had issues like this with other places). We were told that we would be called when it was ready but 5 hours later and nothing even after standing in the lobby, until a manager noticed we were there and asked how we were. She then got us a room quickly. Other than that the staff and room were excellent. We ate one night at the restaurant. It was delicious but quite pricey. For the price we would stay again but would make sure to be a **little** (read respectfully) assertive if the room was not ready at arrival

The moment we pulled up we were greeted with the the most friendly vallet attendant. The front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful as well as we were not sure where to park the car at first but one phone call to the front desk aa she noticed us parked and assured us we were in the right spot. The check-in was easy. We were given our keycards and we went up to our room on the 7th floor. The rooms was very clean and spacious. I always like to look around the room before unpacking. I did have to request for some fresh sheets as one the beds sheets had stains. They brought them up within a few minutes later. As i was about to place the new ones on i noticed stains on those as well. I just gave up and slept ontop of the clean comforter. The shower/bathroom area was nice. The room itself was nice and bright with all the modern touches. We did not use the gym.
