Check in unsatisfying

Check in was not good. We arrived early and they were kind enough to store our luggage as we went to lunch. We got back at 2:30 and our room was not ready. We waited in the lobby for an hour, still not ready. This is after our 3pm check in. I reserved the room 3 weeks prior. The girl at the front desk left for the day. Our room, still not cleaned! Juan took over and got us a room immediately. How frustrating!

Meh

Valet parking is the only option and it was a comedy of delays both days. The restaurant and bar is limited to say the least. Had to request a crib three times before it arrived. Amazing building but feels like the operation is run on a shoe string.
