Beautiful but thin, very thin walls.
Beautiful inside, outside looks like it could use a power wash. Close to walk everywhere in the area. The only downside, which was major is the thin walls. Omg, we heard regular volume conversations next door. I could hear their sink and toilet flushing, coughing and again regular tone conversation.

Perfection
This was one of the nicest hotels I've stayed in and I've travelled all over the world in my past 60 years. The room was nice and the bathroom was designed like my own home with the exact same marble. I was greeted by the valet , Charlie, who was nice and gracious. The front desk was equally nice. What made this exceptional is the team out front that greeted us, remembered our names and in gentlemanly fashion, opened the doors. I've stayed at the encore in Vegas but I liked this better. The service made this an experience rather than a visit. Before and after dinner, visit the bar. The staff is fantastic. They gave us perfect recommendations and we followed their advice. Also visit the concierge to learn what bus tour to take. Again, perfect advice. It doesn't get better than this hotel.

Dog friendly!
I was not expecting a $150.00 pet fee. We were there8 hpursat night. They put us in a room right outside the elevator, which isn't a good location for someone with a dog. He was on alert most of the night.
