Superb

Disliked: No body wash in shower. Instead, I had 1 bottle of conditioner and 2 bottles of shampoo. Also, I made coffee in the room and the packets of sugar/sweetner had no swizzle sticks to stir coffee.

I was a nice trip.

Liked: When I called to possibly cancel due to bad weather that we thought was coming and ruining our stay, the staff was very professional and accommodating. I did not have to cancel and I am glad I didn't. Everything was good.
Disliked: The noise from the street seem load but I was able to sleep.

Disappointing - 2.0 out of 5

It was a mediocre and...

Liked: I can’t say there is anything I really liked about it.
Disliked: I had to change rooms because of noise. The new room’s A/C was extremely loud so I couldn’t use it. Otherwise, the room was clean and fit most of my needs. The bed’s mattress was way too soft for my liking, but there were a variety of pillow types to use. The price at $277 was exorbitant given the quality.
