The free breakfast could have a slightly better offer in terms of variety. I understand and appreciate that it is free however if you offer it should have a bit more variety. The room was good but could hear a lot of noise from the room next to us and above us

The hotel was very clean. It’s advertised as family friend and it was, the free arcade and games was perfect for my kids but unfortunately the room was very small for a family. I was also not aware I would have to pay extra $20 for parking and $30 for amenities which are usually included in the price of the room, anyhow breakfast was part of the extra charge and their “continental breakfast” was horrible! I hade stayed at a holiday inn the night previous and they had an amazing spread compared to this place that had muffins cereal and milk… anyways I would not recommend.

The room had no water cups but $8 bottles of water. The listing said free bottled water. This was a handicap room. We had noticed cups and water in the lobby. Someone with mobility issues should not have to go all the way down to the lobby to get a cup for water to take their medications with. The bed needed to be about 4-6 inches taller. Even the furniture in the lobby was low to the ground. Ok for kids but not adults. The bagels were hard and the coffee bitter for the continental breakfast. Staff was friendly.

You said: Can I say The location is good, and the staff are friendly. The bedroom I stayed in was fine, but the bathroom was not clean. There were black spots (which looked like mold or stains) and a dead bug on the shelf below the sink. The shelf also looked dusty, so I did not use the towels stored there. I informed the front desk on the first night of my stay and requested that housekeeping clean the bathroom. I even texted them photos of the sink. However, the only thing that was done the next day was that the trash can was emptied. This was very disappointing. I think a 4 star hotel should be much better than this. ChatGPT said: Yes—you can say that, and it’s clear, but if this is for a hotel review or a complaint, it will sound more polished and effective with a few small edits. Here’s a refined version that keeps your meaning and tone but reads more professional and balanced: The location is good, and the staff are friendly.
