Valet was excellent but can only valet park with no self park options at $50/day. Got a $15 breakfast credit but the only option at breakfast was the $25 buffet. could not order off the menu. Ice machines on numerous floors were not working. There was also a "destination fee" per night that I was unaware was going to be on my bill. Then...a week later got a hit on my cc for over $50. Not sure what that was for. Had to report it.

The hotel rooms need a major Reno and the hotel is definitely bare bones and designed to host conference guests who spend almost no time there. We were 11th floor facing the water which was nice, but there was loud music playing at one of the restaurants below until 2am. Would not return.

I am providing two stars simply because of the front desk staff they were friendly and courteous, especially the individual who checked us. But let me detail as to why only two stars: Restaurant: our first terrible interaction was with a retiring staff( Hispanic woman with blond hair). She was dismissive and cold when I wanted to order to go as we waited for our rooms. It was as if I was a bother to her because I was not sitting at the bar and opening a tab. Our second interaction with another retiring staff was more pleasant (dark hair woman worked Saturday night) she noticed I had my son with me and came around the bar and brought our food. She was super kind. Third interaction was with the Hispanic woman again and this time was worse. She was not kind to a food runner who brought a burger to her customer that had fries instead of chips . It was her fault because she is the one who obviously rung up the order. When I noticed we waited a while I walked over to the bar to check and our bag was just sitting there as she twirled her hair while smiling and talking to a customer. But I didn’t get a smile. Our food was sitting there for quite some time because I passed by several times and saw the bag but because she never motioned to me I assumed it was not ours. Mind you we were the only ones sitting to the left in the lobby where she can see us. Overall the food was not that great. Especially our final Night the brown rice was bad smelled as if it was spoiled.
