"Everything about the hotel is excellent. Room, location, cleanliness. We just had a really rough check in. We had asked for an early check in months prior, and were told they would do everything to accommodate us. We arrived at 8:00am and weren’t given our room until 2:30. Checkout isn’t until 11, so expected 12 the latest. We were not given a time window and basically ignored in the beautiful lobby."
