Honestly, expected more. Room was.. okay. Loud buzzing noise from the vents. Service at the bar/restaurant was fairly poor. Rooms not well insulated, heard screaming babies all night and people shouting in the hallways. Wouldn't recommend.

Very clean room, wonderful bedding! Mostly quiet after 1030pm. We had to use valet parking because it was winterlude and very busy so it was hard to find our own parking, that was a $45 charge we didn’t budget for. All staff were exceptional. The pool was very packed and it was about an hour before I could get into the hot tub then people continued to jump in putting the max capacity 5 people over, wasn’t very relaxing. The menu for dinner at the restaurant didn’t appeal to us, so we walked down about 2 blocks to “Browns Social House” where we enjoyed a nice dinner. We did however order room service breakfast from forty one and it was amazing!! Overall wonderful experience.
