8/10 Good
"They are still working out a few kinks while remodeling. Construction noise during the day was annoying, but understandable. Our TV went out and it took 24 hours and three phone calls to get someone to look at. They couldn’t fix it and moved us to another room. On the plus side, the valet and bell staff was fantastic."
