Acceptable Stay

convenient locationhelpful staffuseful utilitiesrattling noisepool monitoringfamily havoc
The location was very convenient. I walked to many places from the hotel. The staff was very helpful. The utilities in the room, such as the hair straighteners, were helpful.
The air conditioning made a rattling noise. I did not expect this in a five-star hotel. The pool area lacked monitoring. One family with many children were creating havoc there. This was disturbing when I tried to relax.

the room was a decent size. the location worked for my plans.
valet parking cost $60 for less than 24 hours, a complete rip off. i also found the customer service lacking, especially for a hotel of this supposed caliber. at 10:30 pm on a saturday, there were no bars open other than the casino, and the sky bar required a reservation. it was like i shouldn't have even asked for recommendations.
