We booked 3 rooms here for a family trip to celebrate a graduation. The hotel is located on a fairly quiet street and very close by walking to numerous restaurants and bars. |Check-in|Check-in was wonderful. From the pre-check-in phase, a lot of information was provided and I had frequent communication with the staff during this time. Very helpful was Demba, as he helped arrange transport for some of our party members from the airport and arranged alternate payment methods for me. Upon arrival at the hotel, because we had already provided a lot of information, it was quick and without complication. The entire front desk staff was helpful and while signing for the rooms, our bags were taken to our rooms and jackets hung up. I forget her name, but the young lady who checked us in was very kind, thorough and attentive.|Room|The hotel has elevators and the room I was in was on the 3rd floor, overlooking he street. IT was quiet enough in the room, so the little traffic from the street was not bothersome. The room however was just ok. Being a 5-star hotel, I was a bit underwhelmed by the upkeep of the room. There were scuff marks all over the walls and dirty marks on the curtains. The bathroom sink did not drain well unless the drain stopper was removed. The tiles in the bathroom were worn. The chairs in the room were highly uncomfortable. Overall, I think the room would benefit from a good minor renovation, as the routine upkeep has not kept it looking as great as it should be. Positives on the room, the bed was comfortable and the shower was huge.|Hotel amenities|There is a spa and pool as well as a gym. I did not use the gym on this occasion, but did use the pool and spa. The pool is small, but still a nice sized to enjoy some swim time. The sauna and steam room were excellent. I had a massage and it was ok. I am a big guy and wanted something really deep, but my masseuse could not really get as deep as I wanted, but she was great in her care and communication throughout.|The hotel offers breakfast, which was nothing spectacular, but very convenient as it is on property and can also be delivered to the room if you do not want to go downstairs.|There is also parking, which if you have a bigger vehicle, be careful driving down there as the space is tight, but very convenient. |Overall, everyone in my party enjoyed our stay here. The staff were 5-star for sure, location as well, but I just expected a bit more from the room itself, just a bit better upkeep. May just be me being a bit too picky??
