| - This hotel was very very nice. Not five star awesome nice, but 4 star pretty damn good nice. We spent three nights and paid for a room on the Governor's Club level with an air tub. Unfortunately did not get to use the air tub as we spent less time at the hotel than expected. Staff was very professional, courteous. If bellmen are available, they WILL shuttle you to nearby locations. We went to Sardine for dinner and it was going to be 20 min for shuttle, so we took a cab, but we called for ride back and they had the shuttle there within 5 min, and driver was so apologetic he couldn't take us to dinner.
Room was very nice. Bed and pillows were super comfortable. Granite topped tables. Refrigerator but no microwave. NICE glasses (I hate staying in a hotel where the glasses for water, etc are tiny). Free bottled water. Bath and Body Works lotion, shampoo, etc. Nice big flat screen tv, with in room movies. Oh, and the view of the Capitol was amazing. Couldn't hear too much noise from other rooms.
Finally, the Governor's Club. Free breakfast, hor d'ouerves, dessert, and drinks. Only had drinks here one night, but the bartender made a spot on brandy old fashioned sweet. Hor d'ouerves were good, as were the desserts, although the one night I got dessert, there was hardly anything there at 9:15 when I went down (supposed to start at 9) and I went back later and still nothing refreshed. Breakfast the two days I went there had a large assortment of pastries, fruit, cereal, bagels/bread, scrambled eggs, french toast, and juice. Had the eggs, which were great.
The two main drawbacks to me: 1) No icemakers on the floors, you have to call for ice, which I dislike. 2) No in room safe. For a fancy hotel, I think an in room safe is standard. We took our valuables to our car to lock there when we were gone, which was a PITA.
