The staff was wonderful. Chiquita and Khasia in particular were kind and very helpful. All of the staff was attentive. *** The physical property needs some repairs (elevators very slow, halls were poorly painted, the room ceiling and walls were worn).

Everything was great! If I had to mention something that stood out, that was outstanding it would certainly be the patience and kindness of the Valet gentleman that helped me search for my missing glasses! He went above and beyond to help me try to find them, I did later find them! The overall “Graduate” theme was carried out throughout the hotel, and it was fun to see all the decor. The staff were warm, welcoming and helpful! We ended up ordering several appetizers and entrees for dinner before heading off to a near by show. The food was delicious and the service was fantastic! My only complaint would be not knowing that the hotel was “pet friendly” and when I say that… don’t get me wrong, we love pets! However, one of our family members is allergic and the fact that people enter and exit the small confirmed area of the elevator with pets, the pet dander did cause some allergy issues. This is something that is becoming more common in hotels and shared spaces, not sure how it could be avoided but wish there was a way to almost keep things separated.
