| - This is one sexy hotel. From the second you walk up to the building it's service, service, service here. The lobby is dark and cozy with a real wood fireplace and leather seating for while you wait for your rental car to be brought around by the valet.
My room wasn't exactly spacious but it didn't feel cramped. The design of the rooms is very modern. Lots of clean lines, simple decor, and everything is very thought through. When I walked into the room I was greeted with music playing, a nice touch.
There was a good size wall unit with space to hang everything I needed and stow everything out of sight. It was cool to see the ironing board was built into the unit and just folded out when needed. Probably the best little nuance of the room was that there was an umbrella. It was raining the weekend I was there so it came in handy the one night I went out.
The bathroom was very nice. It had the sexiest shower I've ever seen. The shower is essentially in the middle of the room and is glass on two sides. So you're able to see who ever is showering whether you're in the bathroom or the bedroom area of the room. There is blinds that you can close on the bedroom side it you're looking for some privacy.
For this particular visit I came with some co-workers the day before a big presentation. The VP had booked a suite so we would have space to work while we put the final touches on our presentation. Unfortunately the suite we were in had temperature issues. It was hot the whole time we were trying to work. After getting someone to come look at the thermostat three times the VP asked to be switched to another room. When he came back from the front desk we were being upgraded to the presidential suite at no extra charge. That's what I call great customer service.
The presidential suite is huge as you would probably guess. It has a small kitchen, two living areas, bedroom, two bathrooms, closet area, and is spread out on two floors. There is a real wood fireplace but it didn't seem to be in working order. There is a full entertainment unit with a large flat screen TV and surround sound system.
The continental breakfast that is included with your stay is not worth missing. It's more than your average continental breakfast. They have a large array of pastries, cereal, fruit, and some hot options as well. You won't leave hungry from this hotel.
