The service by the staff was faultless! The room was clean and spacious, the bed extremely comfortable, and the view was gorgeous.The complimentary toiletries were a lovely touch and smelled divine! The entire hotel was spotless. Room service was fast and the menu had options for all tastes. Having access to a water bottle filling station on floor 6 (all hours) was appreciated. Valet parking was an excellent price, and accessing the car was arranged quickly and easily. Our entire stay was enjoyable and I very much look forward to staying here again.
