The lobby had a classy feel. My room looked even larger because of the high vaulted ceiling. It was nice. Staff members were friendly .

The check-in was not great. I had to ask about my bags, and after 30 minutes, I retrieved them myself. I had to follow up on housekeeping. My room was not made up by 5 pm.
