We went for the Christmas festival of Lights. I needed connecting rooms as we had our grandchildren. They upgraded us to a huge suite with a living room for a way below market price. Went the extra mile to reimburse my festival tickets and repurchase with discount for staying at the hotel. Great customer service!

Positives: bed was comfortable, room nice and clean. Negatives: smelly carpet in the ground (1st) floor around the ballroom, no breakfast included (ok, I should have noticed when booking), and on-site Starbucks closed at 10am, room was cold as hell when we arrived and the heating was so noisy we had to turn it off, very annoying.
