The room was nice, good view. The service could be taken up a notch for the class of hotel. The Doormen were often just staring at their phones. As well, I had requested an amenity list so we could add something special to celebrate our anniversary. It was never received. Breakfast buffet was very good.

Run of the mill breakfast buffet with no custom order options. The room was clean but dated. I needed to request a refrigerator to be brought to my room as I travel with medicine that requires refrigeration.

Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The room was spotless & the staff were very accommodating. We did note that the latch on the room door was not completely screwed in, additionally, we dined at the Dogon restaurant & called down to the front desk to get a refrigerator brought up for our leftovers. After 30 minutes we called again, only to be told that there were no more refrigerators available. We found this to be unacceptable for a hotel of this caliber and wonder why there is not a better system for patrons of the restaurant. This was the only mar on an otherwise enjoyable birthday celebration for my husband.
