The service was great especially the bell hop and the fellows taking care of the cars Everyone was pleasant I did not get the rooms I ordered They were suppose to be adjoining rooms and so they put us across the street so we could be on the same floor and it was noise with traffic and the early morning set up at the front of the hotel and the balcony I paid for was so small that you really could not use it We felt we didn’t get the ambience that we would have felt if we stayed in the main hotel The food was very good at the hotel I was still charged for the room with the larger balcony
