"Beautiful lobby. The building has kept much of it's old character and charm. Staff were extremely nice! Gym is very clean and updated. Only thing I would ask for is better condiments for starbuck's coffee in the room. Please stop those packets containing the sweet and lo, powdered creamer etc... It is wasteful due to all the things we don't use in that packet. Real half and half in the tiny capsules would be MUCH better than the horrible powdered stuff and add sugar in the raw packets as a choice. Thanks!"
