Room was not ready but the reception person did her best to accommodate us before the standard check in time. The bed was very comfortable which helped a lot after a sleep less overnight flight to SFO.

Nice hotel, clean, internet/tv service was terrible but not sure if that was a one off. Not sure why but I wouldn’t return? It is ok though just not for me.
