The members' lounge and kitchen facilities certainly elevate the experience beyond a typical hotel stay, in my opinion.”

slow elevator rude staff
the elevators was a problem. only one worked on the eleventh floor, so it took forever to get anywhere. also, i forgot something in the room, and the staff acted like it was my fault and too bad. i thought that was pretty rude, especially considering how fast they are to take your deposit but slow to return it.
