Beautiful hotel

We booked this hotel as we were in an uber from the airport heading into the city and we could not have been happier with our decision. Upon arrival Hannah checked us in and hooked us up with a beautiful top floor view. The building is stunning. The room was perfect. Comfortable bed. Location was great for us. TJ at the star lite lounge on top floor was also great. Would stay and recommend this place over and over. Thank you.
