The room was very hot even when I turned the AC on and had it set to 62 the thermostat was still reading 71. Other than that the view was beautiful. I had a view of the river side and was on the 18th floor so it looked very nice at night. The amenities were good and the room was clean and smelled good. Furniture was kept in decent shape. Bed was very comfortable. Definitely would stay again.

Room was fine , just restaurant was extremely slow and was not busy 1 hour wait for 4 breakfasts, seemed to be getting out room service or Togo orders before seated guests … accidentally left a extremely sentimental necklace in bathroom hanging on the shower door ( had moms ashes in it) and called hotel and stopped back but no one knew of anything turned in Very sad if someone would steal ashes

Sara

Liked: Cleanliness
The room was clean, and front desk was helpful. The restaurant was great from the food to the service. For my room service order, since I am a vegetarian, I modified eggs Benedict to substitute sliced tomatoes for Canadian bacon, but when it was delivered, the container was basically in it side, so it was a mess. There was no tomato, and it still had bacon. There was no utensils, even though I requested them. When I got on the very full elevator to leave, a hotel employee got on a started complaining to another employee about the hotel. The second employee did not engage. When the second employee got off the elevator the first employee continued to complain to the guests.
