Parking and entry was a little difficult when choosing to self park. Staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The rooftop bar was busy and fun with great selections. Rooms were spacious and clean. The only things that were not as expected were the lighting in the bathroom was very dim and no microwave in the room.

We loved our stay at AC. The room was clean. We stayed during a snow storm so things were not quite business as usual but the staff held it down and did an exceptional job taking care of their guests.

I was thankful for the email the staff sent to give instructions on how to enter the property and navigate through the parking garage. It was still quite confusing. The staff was busy but courteous. It seemed that we spent half of our stay waiting for elevators which slow and usually packed. The room was nice and clean if a little small.
