Staff, facilities and room were all top class. Food was just OK. I thought $35 special for the breakfast was a bit much for the limited variety on choice. (only one eggs, short or long black coffee at the machine) For dinner I ordered a medium/well done steak and it came out medium/rare. I've found in restaurants that if a cook cant determine doneness in steaks, it's not much use sending it back. I ate it all but not as enjoyable as a $48 steak should be.

Stayed here a few times over the years for business and in the past i've always been provided a free upgrade to ocean-view, which wasn't the case this time, but did have a nice view of the mountains. The 12th floor lobby hadn't been vacuumed all week + my toilet seat in room1201 was falling off. The bar ( and Gus's memory for drinks over the week was amazing) & restaurant are very nice.
