The room was nice and I loved the blackout windows. The staff is friendly. The vertex bar which advertised itself as open until midnight was closing at 10 so that was a disappointment. I purchased the $40 breakfast option and receive two $15 Starbucks gift cards so ended up losing money on that deal
