Modern Comfort and Really good Service

friendly staffreally good serviceunavailable wifi
The staff were really good too assist my wife and me. A manager even offered to make a dinner reservation at the BTWN restaurant. The hotel's atmosphere felt exclusive and cute, especially noted on the escalator ride to check-in. The breakfast included awesome meals and a great service from friendly staff.
there was no available Wi-Fi connection in the room, and the TV was unusable as a result. The room was very bright because of the lit power switches.
