Marina gave me a warm welcome during check-in. Her kindness and professional manner were good. I used the concierge desk often and Sean and Joseph always helped. The late-night room service was a wonderful benefit after long days.

The front desk staff was unfamiliar with a specific program. I received only part of the benefits I expected. I also had to speak with multiple people to get them. It.
