| - This place is FAB-U-LOUS! From the moment I walked in, I knew it was going to be a great stay. The smell in the lobby was so good that I wanted to ask the concierge where they were getting the lovely scent. Yes, it does suck that there is a $15 a day resort fee, but I booked the hotel for a weekend stay for $300, so the resort fee really didn't bother me. I searched high and low for the discount because the website usually has the suites for 200-500 for a junior one. But if you look online, you can find some lovely deals. The suite was wonderful! Modern and chic! The jacuzzi tub was a perfect escape from a hard night of partying and it faced the mirror with the TV built right in, so I had entertainment. There is a refrigerator, microwave, and stove top for cooking, but I never used it since we were all about the buffets. There are complimentary water bottles and the Wolfgang Puck coffee was delicious. The beds were ULTRA comfortable and warm.
Another fav are the little switches they have for housekeeping. You just push a button and a light pops up in front of your suite to tell housekeeping to either clean your room or to not disturb you. Wonderful! Your suite also has a doorbell, so people can ring your bell to let you know that they are there.
My bf and I worked out at the workout facility and it was nice. All the cardio machines have TVs built in, so you had something to watch while getting your workout on and there are free water bottles in the mini fridge. It overlooked the pool which was nice. I didn't get to check out the pool because it was super crowded Sunday, but people were having a good time.
Yes, the valet does take a while since there were a lot of people in town for the fight, and it was be a total nuisance, but hey...everything else about the hotel was great, so I didn't mind the wait. And even though we already pay $15 for the resort fee, remember to tip the valet! I felt bad watching everyone grab their cars without tipping them! They were all great and attentive! For the amount of people that were there, they were doing the best they could at getting everyones cars. I also tipped housekeeping before we left because she was wonderful at getting the room tidy. She even organized my makeup in the bathroom! A+++++
The best part about this hotel...the 4pm CHECKOUT TIME! It was as though I was getting another day for free! DO the express checkout from the comfort of your suite by using your TV so that you can avoid the lines downstairs for people checking out. I don't know why people didn't do the express checkout. It shows you your bill, you review it, confirm it, and then you're merry way!
It truly is a 5 star hotel and I will definitely be back!
