Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
I liked the environment that it felt safe, secure & private. The first day the place we found to have breakfast was a far walk & expensive, however, we soon realized that the supermarket one block away was cheap & sweet. I liked that we didn't have to worry about keys and sharing keys since all the locks were digital. I didn't like that there was not a direct person to talk to with any questions. For example, one day there was confusion when I asked for the room to be cleaned, but due to misunderstanding I returned expecting the room to be cleaned, but it wasn't. However, except for this one hiccup it was smooth sailing and I understand it helps to keep costs down.

Hotels .com sucks

I was in a Bind, because I accidentally. I booked a hotel at the airport 2 weeks in advance. Because hotels.com changed their policy of their default settings, and when you try to book a stay, they just decide to put whatever date in the future. They want, I'm assuming it's they know as a fact that A good percentage of people don't look at that. I've been using the app for years, and they changed it about a year ago, and they suck. I will never use that again, but the posh tail pelican, whatever it's called was great
