There was no one to help with bags. We pulled up at the front on hotel and asked the two employees at the door if we could unload there, but they sent us to the parking in the back and said to enter through there. At the back entrance there was no assistance whatsoever. We had to carry our own things in and take an elevator up to the lobby for checkin. At check-in area there was really loud live music playing and we could barely hear the desk clerk. On the positive side, the rooms were excellent as was the room service.

All the shared spaces (pool, gym, lobby, restaurant, etc) were top notch, really nice and well maintained. Our room was just ok, but could just have been the one we got...we didn't have a view at all (basically staring at a wall) and bathroom was a bit warn down. The location is great, all in all I would recommend.
