Everything was nice as expected from a fine establishment - the manager was a bit rude seeing a Mexican and Jamaican man dozing off in the restaurant area while waiting for our room to be ready well past check in time. When they realized we were not bums but guests waiting on our check in time they were nice and offered us a drink.
