The team is very helpful and the location is great. You can experience the old time glamour inside.
The bathroom fixtures were not fully functioning. Most importantly even though the open buffet breakfast was good, hot egg orders were not consistent and not 5 star quality.

The staff know exactly what luxury is, i commend the staff and management for their service. The room was beautifully made, complimentary drinks were nice.
It is in a busy area and next to a mcdonalds, understandably so the people around can be questionable at times but the doormen do a great job in controlling the entrance
