Room was in decent condition. Bed was comfortable coffee on each floor, but it never was stocked and had to go to multiple floors to get a decent cup of coffee.

AC Hotel Burlington
Staff and valet were great; the only downside was lighting in the room. Dimming feature would help. Lights were bright and not dimmable. Lighting fixture over the table was a bit much.
