Room features wood/leather loveseat, king bed (HW told them smoking, but NS preference accommodated at check-in), work desk, comfortable chairs. Was able to check-in early. Minibar, very reasonable, make that unbelievably cheap ($1.25 soda/$2.50 liquor miniatures). Room service 24H, reasonable +$5+$18% incl Italian, Starbucks (Sa-Su AM only).

Why this place has a resort fee escapes me given the very reasonable minibar and room service prices.

One sour note, at checkout we had been billed for an extra night's stay, we thought we ironed it out but our CC remained overcharged by $150 or so. After many phone calls and emails they eventually refunded money to the CC so that we were only overcharged $40 or so, and they would not provide an itemized bill. This is under my dispute threshhold, which is probably what they figure. Advice: Offer a cash deposit and don't give them a CC if possible.
