Great, except for....

Every was lovely: nice decore, comfortable bed, great staff, very clean EXCEPT for when I arrived there was a long black hair hanging on the body wash container. I avoided it during my shower, and the next morning I let the front desk know that the shower needed to be cleaned a bit more thoroughly. I left for some business but when I returned, it was still there. The room had been attended to but the trash was not emptied and the gross hair was still there. I informed the front desk and they sent someone immediately to remedy the issue. This person was very thorough, and I definitely appreciated the quick attention.

The property was good. Our phone never worked in our suite. It wouldn’t be a problem until I needed to reach out about a room service I had placed at the bar earlier and was taking longer than expected. We didn’t get our order until 40 mins later and my phone never got even looked at after reporting it. Other than that, everything was good. Just wished they had put more than 2 large towels.
Condition of my phone during my stay.
