They didnt habe the room i booked. The room they gave me had a very worn out mattress which we coukd not sleep on and air conditioner units placed on the roof kept us up all night from the noise they created. They had to give us another room. The valet parking was very unorganized and 2ce didnt bring our car up agter we called from the room. The hostess in the morning was very rude before they sat us down. Overall not a gtreat experience. The front desk supervisor Ana was very nice and helpful even though the overall Valentines werkend was ruined.
