    Just needed a room for overnight connection for international flight. 5 star luxury. Everything is gorgeous and pristine. Aaron at front desk was super and went the extra mile to make me feel welcome. I was tired and not feeling great so I ordered room service. Food is phenomonal gourmet classy and world class delicious. Was given an eta on delivery. Then they called to let me know it was ready and on its way. You just dont expect that. The extra touches of detail in the room is out of this world. 100% impressed.
