Upon my arrival, there where no luggage carts available. My room on the tenth floor smelled like weed, and it was non smoking. The places to eat are very limited and not open very much. There are no close places to eat. The ice machines where all broken. I was supposed to leave on saturday, but I was so disgusted that I left a day early.

Disappointing

To sum it up, we arrived at the hotel after 3;30am due to flight delays and my room was cancelled (although I had been in contact with the hotel during each delay, I had my reservation guaranteed with my card and the hotel had preauthorized one night’s stay on my card).
