"The room was spacious but needed more drawers. I love the large mirror on the wall and the counter space on the other side of the room is great!! It has only two large drawers. The blackout shutters were wonderful. Valet for hotel guests is outrageous at $69/a day. At least there is nearby non-hotel self-parking that is more affordable. The bathroom is small with toilet being in between sink and shower. Barely enough space to change outfits in the bathroom. Staff was professional and friendly. Bartender at Dorrego's (9/24/26) was amazing. I love all of the seating areas around the lobby and patio."
