Lacking basic Kleenex, toilet paper, and towels for such a high end property. Also, transparency in car wash offering on cost would help. Great staff overall!

Lovely room and spacious bathroom plus all of the high end touches (robes, slippers to soft mats and towels and great bath products and loved the nespresso maker!) View was not great but gym and lobby made up for it; bar was too crowded and we couldn’t get a late checkout but at least it was noon and they held our bags for a few hours!
