CHECKIN & BUILDING -- 👍 great Monique at reception was amazing-- so sweet & kind! The Lobby is an immediate "wow", immaculately designed for grandeur & glam. Very clean too. Unfortunately there's no late checkout; stern 12pm checkout time. ROOM -- 👍 ruclips.net/video/Y_4Xx0RyOj4/видео.html Lots of style points for this modern-classic look. I like the flooring visuals + the fact there's no dirty carpet to deal with. High ceilings & strategic lighting tie it all together. It's a spacious, albeit quirky, box layout; for w/e reason there's a huge pillar in center of the room... Windows also don't open. There's still plenty to rave about, from the cleverly designed compact storage, to the amazing reclining chairs. A huge work desk is setup in the corner for dedicated tabletop space. It's not so strong on comfort & ergonomics unfortunately. Privacy light is used instead of a dirty, flimsy, paper DnD signs (although ours didn't work...). BATH -- 👎 Looks good but the devil is in the details Huge vanity, bright & spacious. Good dimensions with warm & hefty towels. Walk-in shower was large & equipped with a decent hand shower. Its an underwhelming shower experience in the end due to slow heating water, weak water pressure, & dismal toiletries. It's not possible to use both the hand shower and overhead shower head simultaneously -- disappointing. Don't appear to give out robe & slippers anymore either💔. FOOD & DRINK -- 👎 poor Not DoorDash friendly. No room service despite what Google says...🥲 The bar still appears to be functional though, but not competitive if in need of a drink. Ice & vending on the floors. in-room: ✅ small mini fridge ❌ microwave ✅ free water ❌ coffee TV & ENTERTAINMENT -- 👍 ok Huge wall mounted TV servicing basic cable. The port accessibility is rather poor with this installation. Outlet distribution also makes it inconvenient if you're hoping to hook up a gaming system or HDMI device. There are a lot of outlets & USB ports, just not where you may need them. BED -- 👍 ok Sleeping accommodations were "mixed". Too few pillows & 2 sizes too small; while lacking in quantity, quality was on point, curtesy of the New Orlean collection brand. Linens were mediocre + this composition lacked a duvet. Luckily the Posteurpedic mattress was a hit! WI-FI & CELLULAR -- 👎 poor Cellular reception is stable & good for work.
