We had a one night stay for an event hosted in their grand ballroom. The lobby and the ballroom are beautiful! We ordered room service and it was fairly quick (15-20 minutes), hot and fresh! The king room was fine. It was mostly clean and had basic hotel room amenities. The mattress didn't have a fitted sheet on it; it only had a flat sheet thrown over it with another flat sheet, blanket and duvet.
