1. The staff was helpful and friendly besides the front desk guy who was determined to make us publicly shamed for not being happy about the parking charge.

2. Only downside was that Jose in particular really didn't want to do any more than the bare minimum for us when asked to, which was a shame as it tainted our view of the hotel.

3. The staff in the entire hotel are very young and it seems there is no manager to run the whole thing which is a real shame as it is a lovely hotel.

5. The downside: You'll have to either order room service for coffee ($5 for a cup) or get your own in the lobby as there is NO in-room coffee pot -a shame for paying $300 a night.
