9/10 Wonderful! (1,006 reviews)
We had a great stay. You can't beat the location.
The beds are comfortable and the room was very spacious. The property is clean and well maintained.
The biggest issue was the dust. Our room was super dusty, every surface when we checkedn in. They were doing some renos.
Even though our suit was away from the main lobby area, we had to sleep with ear plugs since the music traveled from the lobby and we could hear it even in our room. In the morning we also heard all the cleaning staff moving about and doing laundry. Woke is up st 07:30.
We also never got our free welcome sparkling wine. They kept sending us from restaurant to restaurant so we eventually gave up.
