Made our reservation on the Hotel website. Upon arrival, the desk had no record. ONLY seating in our ?Deluxe? room was one plastic desk chair. Bathroom was miniscule. Requested move to a suite, it took all day and four desk clerks to accomplish. Monday, my key card malfunctioned. Desk Clerk hesitated to renew it because her computer did not reflect the change of rooms. Housekeeping did not clean our room that day. Tuesday and Wednesday we had no hot water when we awoke. Upon checkout, received a bill for four days in a room PLUS four days in a suite.

The in room and lobby decor was really cool. I was upset that the internet connection didn't work in the room. Also, the complimentary breakfast was only offered until 9:30 am which was too early for my schedule while I was staying.
Pros:
decor
Cons:
in room internet connection
