The air conditioner kept us up all night. It shook the floor! There was a gross used adult toy left on the floor of the room by the trashcan.

I’m sorry, but a high-end hotel should offer feather pillows. For the half percent of people that have allergies to feathers your pillows were absolutely horrendous. Such a beautiful property but so completely uncomfortable to sleep. Do you want to be a high-end hotel offer high-end amenities, and one of those is a high-end feather pillow.

5 star price; not a 5 star hotel
This is a dressed up Marriott and a great option for a suburban stay. However, it is not worth $400 per night. For that price I would expect a more upscale experience. Minimal travel size toiletries are provided and no robes. We ordered room service and it was delivered in a to go paper bag and plastic containers. Worst of all the walls were paper thin. Our neighbor must have been ill and we heard them all night and morning.
Overall it’s a nice place to stay, but the price doesn’t match the quality especially considering there is a Doubletree downtown for half the price.
