Liked the location of the property. The front desk area is very minimal, could use some warmth. Thought the lobby chandelier was beautiful, but not quite in harmony with the orchid. The room was well-appointed, appreciated the blackout shades. The bed could have been softer for my liking, the mattress was very firm. The gym was small but well-appointed for a small space. Disappointed in the Berkley restaurant/bar- lacked basic customer service as in greeting guests, checking in on guests once food was delivered, asking if wanted another drink, waiting for bill/then payment.
