Hi Phillip, Thank you for the review! Great to hear that our team has been on top of communication, both before and during your stay. I'm pleased you loved the design of the room and our lobby. I know what you mean about the lighting, it was chosen by our architect for a calm environment, but we understand it's not for everyone. Best wishes, Grace
