Disappointing stay.

Booked what was called a corner suite. The room is actually on the side of the hotel. I was also placed on the ground floor which I was looking at a construction site out the side window. I went back to the front desk and asked for a different room but was told nothing available. Also asked to be moved for the second night but was never given a response by front desk. This was our third stay and will be back. Just won’t book the “corner suite” again.

High quality decor and furnishings with a spectacular view. Nice kitchen setup but would be nice if there were starter packs for things like coffee and tea (they are available in the lobby).
