The hotel overall was a wonderful place to stay and Alex at the front desk helped with our special requests. My only complaint is their 3rd party answering service. They did not have correct information on the front desk contact number and their hours. They said check out time was 9am when it is actually 12pm. Also the email they gave me to the front desk was not correct.
