The staff were all very nice and helpful. The place was in a good location, and they were able to accommodate our request for a quieter room. The room we stayed in was very, very spacious, and was clearly intended as a condo. I did feel that being charged a resort fee when practically none of the 'resort' amenities were available, either due to weather or COVID restrictions was a bit unfair. It was a really good hotel, but I was expecting a bit more from them, given its reputation and price. One thing that really surprised me was how uncomfortable the furniture was; seriously, that couch was absolutely torturous.
We still enjoyed our stay, and would consider staying there in the future, but really hope that they have a chance to bring back some of the resort level features before we do. Having signs up for valet parking when you don't actually offer it was quite disconcerting, even though the bellhops were amazingly helpful. Fully functional restaurants would be a great thing, too. Having your main restaurant only open for breakfast, when your night time 'bar restaurant' seats no more than a dozen, was pretty aggravating at the time.
