Yet another excellent timeshare stay from start to finish! Easily found it on Leisure Getaways Incorporated. Pulled up to the valet. Checked in and was greeted immediately by the front desk. I forgot the guy's name, but he was very helpful. Picked up the keys, was given more information about our stay, and I was on my way!
We had a room on the 7th floor, and the only complaint was the street noise and thin walls. But we were warned of it.
Okay, so back to the room description. I was very impressed. A fairly high ceiling, larger than your average room, and more space than anticipated. Upon entering, you're provided with a closet (and clean white robes), dresser drawers, and a shoe bench. The bathroom was clean and had a remote. Remote for what you ask? Well, the built in LCD monitor in the mirror of course. See pic! Only basic television though, so kinda useless. At least the shower head was detachable and flexible.
We also had a microwave, a modern mini-sink, and fridge. Almost a kitchenette, only without a stove. So I guess it's considered a wet-bar if anything. There was a 50' LCD flat-screen with cable. An office workstation, and free wi-fi. A comfortable king-sized bed with clean sheets and soft pillows. A cool leather sofa-sleeper with extra bedding in the closet. Man, I tell ya, this place was so worth it!
Outside our room, we're provided access to the Club Lounge on the top floor. More couches and tables for you to just lounge and relax, read, or watch TV. Patio chairs out on the balcony to enjoy your coffee, and enjoy the weather. As far as the balcony view, it was OK. Nothing scenic or spectacular, just a lot of buildings. The concierge desk was helpful; The guy there was informative about restaurants and touristy spots.
The Fitness Center was kinda small, but good enough. It provided: Two treadmills, two exercise bikes, a few dumbbells, and weight machines. The locker room seemed pretty clean as well. The sink area even had items for shaving, now that's a plus! And with plenty of clean towels provided, I spent my last morning relaxing in the spa and then in the sauna. Score!
On a side note, I also had issues with my key card. Again, I was given excellent service from the front desk, as they re-keyed my card with no issue. What a perfect staycation in the city! Loved it, and won't hesitate booking here again!
