Stats

2 night stay last week, used a DSU since the wife is with and our sleep schedules are a little different.  Put in a 1BR avenue suite on the 16th floor facing a courtyard.

Parking:  Self $35, Valet with i/o $45.  Not very well marked if you have never been here before.

Checkin was smooth.  I called the FD with a request early in the day.  The FDM took my info and checked me in.  Key request, amenity choice and up we went.

Room was clean.  Into a foyer/hallway.  Small sink, coat closet and full length mirror in the foyer. 

BR was clean, well lit.  Bathroom a little small, but typical for a 100 year old hotel.  Standard amenities, nothing special.  Full size, probably 42" TV in BR.  Accessible plugs on both nitestands.  Folding french doors into the LR. 

Sofa, (unsure if sleeper), coffee table, 2 sitting chairs, desk, small refrigerator.  Desktop 110 & USB chargers.  Room was already renovated, but there were some SERIOUS concerns. 

Carpets are clean.  Towels are thin.  Think Fairfield Inn or YMCA.  The Bathroom mirror had a significant chip in it, along with about a 6" crack.  The coffee tablehad a large water stain, like someone set a water pitcher on it.  The sofa, well based on my 30 years of healthcare experience, had some stains that seriously looked like bodily fluids on the front edge of the sofa.  We chose to sit on the chairs.

Diamond breakfast.  1st morning, called RS, asked if DB was available for delivery, told yes with a $22 limit per person.  Crab Benedict and lobster spinach omelette.  Both DELISH, the omelette could choke a horse.  A PHENOMENAL dinner in XIX, lobster risotto was great.  Next morning, breakfast in XIX, large buffet. 

Valet was always prompt.  Food court in the basement of the bellevure building, nothing great.  Palms restaurant closed for renovations. 

On checkout, the RS breakfast was on the folio.  I explained that we called and asked, told a dollar amount.  Promptly removed without an issue.  I would stay again, and will be this weekend again.
