9.4/10 Exceptional! (1,006 reviews)
The stay so far has been great, but we attempted to order in room dining which, according to the menu, is available until 5AM, but were advised by the front desk staff that we would not be able to order food for at least 40 minutes while the kitchen was “cleaned”. No other solutions were provided and we were very disappointed in this interaction.

Quick and easy check in. Parking in their private garage was breeze. Plenty of space, mostly empty, and our vehicle could stay in the garage until 2:00 PM the next day. Beautiful 1 BR condo. Full kitchen, beautiful views of the city on the balcony and from the living room, and very clean space overall. Need your key card for just about everything (pool, lounge, some of the outdoor bathrooms, elevators, etc.).
