Good

Liked: Parking is hard to do. There is so much demand in the area because they are two hotels located next to each other you have to keep circling the block for an opening for valet
Disliked: Parking difficulties

Great stay overall - friendly...

Liked: The rooms was nice, the bedding was comfortable - pillows a little too "pillowly" but all very nice. The facility was clean as well.The valet service and that whole crew was amazing.
Disliked: The Bonvoy customer service had indicated I was set to a 2pm checkout, but the front desk said I would have to wait on other people that had requested to see if they "showed up"..I had booked 2 months in advance and requested such-qas advised to check back later. I did receive the early check-in I had requested through my Bonvoy membership. When I checked back, a different front desk person said I wasn't a Bonvoy member and couldn't have late check out. I then provided her my member number to which she then replied, "Oh, at this level you can only get a 12pm checkout". I found it offputting and had planned to be able to stay later following the event from the previous evening.Only pork meat products were available at breakfast - the employees indicated turkey sausage would be in the next day, Monday, as they rotated on what meat was provided - seems pork-free should be a standard option.

Superb

Disliked: No body wash in shower. Instead, I had 1 bottle of conditioner and 2 bottles of shampoo. Also, I made coffee in the room and the packets of sugar/sweetner had no swizzle sticks to stir coffee.
