So much thought was put into every inch of this hotel’s rooms and common spaces. We enjoyed the theater and bar nightly. The staff in departments were very welcoming. This may have been the cleanest and most cared for property I’ve ever stayed.

There’s too much to say really. Physically, this hotel is a beauty. The staff seems to genuinely care about its appearance. They are cleaning even the tiniest of areas that typically go unnoticed. The amenities were wonderful. Would rather not pay for parking, but considering the effort they make in showing true hospitality, it’s a minor issue. We were impressed enough that we stayed an extra night and have already checked out their other properties for future vacation planning.

The property is nice overall and staffs are very friendly. They didn’t upgrade our room and our room is probably the worst one, it’s just above the entrance and the window is facing the wall! The safe was locked and no instructions was given. There were stains on the bath towels. The design of the shower area is strange and wasted a lot of space.

The ambiance is very elegant and upscale. The staff is very professional and friendly. Our room was clean and comfortable. We enjoyed the convenience amenities available, ie the coffee shop and workout room. Unfortunately the new lounge was just opening on the last night of our stay, so we didn’t get to visit there but it looks awesome. We’re definitely looking forward to returning and staying at other ALA properties in different locations.
