8.6/10 Excellent! (818 reviews)

We stayed in suite 840, the unit was old. We had a kitchenette with no dishes. We requested dishes and received two tablespoons, two folks, 2 butter knives. 2 cracked plates, a teapot and one skillet. The upside, the housekeepers does a great job in cleaning the unit each day. The staff is very nice and accommodating.

Great staff and a lovely room. Only thing that was not great was the parking. Tight to drive around with all the pillars. Nothing they could do about it, but strangely constructed!
