I do not like the charge for early check in. The room was ready. Why not make me happy? If it had not been ready, no problem. I was also annoyed that I was quoted a price and told the agent could cut it. This seemed like a cheap ploy.

From the moment we arrived the staff (valet, front desk, manager & assistant manager) made us feel very welcome. Even the woman from housekeeping whom we ran into near the elevator was so gracious to us. It's been a long time since we were greeted in the lobby by management as we arrived/departed. It was so welcoming.
