Well the rooms were nice. The pool wasn’t open aside from your advertising saying there was a pool. Once we got to the room the was a sign saying if we wanted our room cleaned we had to call the front desk. So at 8am I called to have the room cleaned while we were out and we arrived at 230pm nothing was done. No new towels , no bed turned over, our guests were welcome to a room undone and towels all bunched on the floor to aid the cleaners and despite our best effort calling at 8am the room was never cleaned.

$626 for 2 nights at this hotel is outrageous. At least OK, but in any case this is not a 3 star hotel. Floor corners not finished, windows not cleaned, Wifi very slow, breakfast one of the days was delayed for 25 min, which didn’t leave me the time to eat, so I had to skip.

Front desk staff were super helpful with accessing the on demand printer. Gave me a free upgrade to a room with induction cooktop and mini kitchenette which was great. Fitness center was nice as well Only issue for me was that the only ice machine for the entire hotel was on the 4th floor.
