"Elevator broke down and room service told us they would come back to clean our room, but they did not. Breakfast was good-there were tacos as well as the usual(eggs, hash brown, sausage and bacon, bread). There was also fresh fruit which is a plus. The room was clean when we first arrived. Valet is inconvenient and we had to wait a bit each time we wanted to use our car."
