"The staff was amazing, and the bar was great. That said, the property is in need of some TLC. The paint, flooring, and bathrooms are showing significant wear, the ironing board was bent with a stained cover, and there were no hangers in the closet. Also, while the lobby smells fresh, the elevators, hallways, and my room had a strong chemical odor from cleaning products. These are all easily addressed, and fixing them would make an already incredible location with a wonderful staff perfect."
