| - I booked a room at a really great rate which included a view upgrade, a $50 Food & Beverage credit and $50 Salon Spa credit. Parking is valet only (complimentary) and we had to wait quite a while when we first arrived to valet the car. Check-in also took FOREVER and I was told that I couldn't get a view upgrade because the hotel was sold out that night. The problem with the Food & Beverage credit is that it can only be used for room service, the lobby bar, or the market cafe (but not the market part). We ended up using it for coffees, sandwiches, juice, and desserts at the market cafe and it took 35 minutes after we ordered to get our food. I used my Salon Spa credit for a nice manicure but I would never pay $50 for that service.
The room seemed really small despite its square footage. The kitchenette, dining area, and hall are just wasted space. The bathroom is also laid out kind of oddly, with the tub at a diagonal. It seemed like the lack of a towel rack was a design flaw so they placed a little towel cart next to the shower. The area just didn't flow well. Since over half of the suite is poorly laid out, the living room/bedroom area seemed really cramped. Oh, let me also mention that the "blackout" blinds leave a huge gap of light coming in.
Anyway, I thought the idea of a smoke-free/gaming-free hotel is what I wanted but I ended up not liking it very much and my bf really missed the casino. We're definitely going elsewhere next time.
