The property was great. The decor amenities, and staff were very nice and on par with the brand. The only problem I had was that the room was VERY warm and despite calling the front desk, engineering could not fix this until the next morning and I wasn't offered a room change, even though I am a Silver member/VIP.

It is very centrally located and easy to get where we wanted to go plus the staff was very pleasant and helpful. But, we had an issue with our bill as we were charged for valet parking though we didn't have a car. We are waiting for that to be resolved.
