- • The dryer didn’t dry very well. I had to go look for a laundromat to finish drying my clothes after I checked out.
Beautiful views and welcoming experience.

An Elite Luxury Experience
This was a last minute birthday stay for me. Only God made this hotel appear on my phone as I prayed about where to go and what to do , so I asked God lol! Boy was my mind blown. The pictures did it no justice though beautiful and initially intriguing. What I witnessed was the most elite hotel experience I have ever had. The views alone in every part of the hotel were to say the least breathtaking beautiful. I cried from the shear beauty of it all . The penthouse I had on the top floor felt like I was comfortable and arriving at home ( I wish !!!) lol It had every amenitie and the decor was very modern top of the line and well planned and thought out. Now detail was left out and no expense was spared. They did not cut corners in any part every detail was luxury I do not say that lightly. To the softest pillows , bed, and blankets no hard wool or stiff anything. The robe in the closet waiting. Waters in the fridge . Even the containers for the guest shampoo, body wash , conditioner were big nice bottles. Elite Luxury. The treatment from the staff , the manager , every worker gave Unlimited Again Elite service. I asked questions , I got help and recommendations they were always kind and accommodating to me and all the guests and residents . Everyone who entered or left was smiling with a complete happiness and was I . I went a little wired returned on fire with energy. I utilized the pool , gym ( awesome) lounge , but they also have golf a conference room , spa, a theater !!!! You need a week or more here to really explore. I never made it into the city though it’s been years since I lived in Pa . Everything is convenient that a traveling person would want to experience . The hotel affords so many pleasures I doubt you go outside like me everything was right there. I spent some time with Ms Rhianna ( Manager) Ms Quinn( Reception) And Mr Lennel (Doorman) The Regional vice president Mr Evan O’ Donnell also spared what I know was valuable time discussing the hotel and helping with my booking. Seeing the leadership of this company and the people who run it are honorable, genuine people who work with care and integrity shows why this building is running at this top levels. Mr O’ Donnell seemed very detail oriented checking very meticulously over the smallest things. It was interesting my shower had no shelf ! I informed him he was engaging and forthcoming with this being a rare anomaly lol ( only me) but seemed very intent on inspecting and ratifying it. Again I assume he’s very busy so taking the time he did to talk to me, and listen, assist his staff seamlessly while managing so many many others tasks speaks to his character . He also demonstrated a good example for the staff as a leader. I Thank God for leading me too and providing this experience and I’m thankful for the time spend here it was exactly what I personally pray for a refuge this was the best birthday surprise I didn’t know I needed. I suggest booking least a week you will not want to leave.
