After Marriot Marquis really dropped the ball I found this place and I will not be returning to Marriot after seeing first hand how much more incredible Four Seasons is in every way. The staff were genuinely interested in my goal for a weekend getaway, and I mean from the first person I spoke to on the phone, to the gentleman who helped us with our luggage. The helped me orchestrate an unbelievable romantic Valentines day where I would propose to my girlfriend. Flowers, snacks ready to go, personalized hand written notes welcoming us, perfect room with unbeatable views, in-room dining because who would ever want to leave this suite. They nailed every single facet of the trip and made it an experience my Fiancee and I will remember for the rest of our lives.
