I arrived early, and they were supposed to contact me when a room was available. They never did.

Thank you for staying with us Kurt. I sincerely apologize for the lack of communication on our part. It gets incredibly busy during the mornings and we try our very best to contact you as soon as a room becomes available. We will certainly be more conscious of this going forward.

It has a modern flair. It feels like a classic New York hotel. Could not be any better!
