Everything was top notch except very little toilet tissue in the bathroom and we had to go to the front desk for a roll. Guess cleaning staff forgot to make sure there was an extra roll.

Upon check in I heard upbeat music coming from the dining area. I asked, "Do I hear live music?" "No, we don't have live music. No problem. After checking in, I went to the bar to ask for 2 wine glasses. "I'm sorry we don't have wine glasses but you can have these." (Two rocks glasses) After dinner we walked in the lobby and immediately saw a guy playing guitar in the dining area. Mininformation. Then we go to our room, pour wine, and proceed to go and hear the singer. I see a couple at the bar with wine in wine glasses. I asked the same girl," Um, why did you tell me earlier that you did not have wine glasses?' "Those are for the paying guests. And you can't have outside food or drinks in here." Then we see a party of 10 or more that ordered in 5 Dominos Pizza and nothing was said to them. We sat in the lobby anyway, but the whole thing ruined our night.

The front desk personnel were friendly, efficient and informative. The room lighting was dim.
