We had drinks a late night meal at the Starbucks, which was okay, the food was good, but the person serving us was nice, but also seemed a little frustrated that several customers were arriving so close to closing, but she did accommodate everyone. We asked for extra towels and received them quickly. The young man at the Concierge Desk was nice and friendly when I stopped to ask if I could get my room cleaned. On our last day we needed a late checkout and the response was positive and friendly."
