Exceptional

The hospitality staff was very...

Liked: I would have enjoyed having something sweet like a sweet roll
Disliked: Would have been nice to have a fridge in room

Terrible

Liked: My room was nasty and it smelled horrible
Disliked: Cleanings

Passable

Disliked: The air conditioning wasn't working in my room. The first night was hot and stuffy. Maintenance came to work on the a/c but the unit still would not cool. Ended up having to go to the front desk and get my room switched bc I couldn't stand the heat and humidity

Very good

Disappointing

Liked: Location and breakfast.
Disliked: My room had no refrigerator or microwave...I have never experienced that in my 22yrs of trave, and at a nice hotel at tht...feel like I wasted my money, who would pay all tht for a room with bar minimum..should be ashamed..nice hotel doing guest like tht smh.

Exceptional

Disappointing

Liked: Location and cleanliness
Disliked: Nightly rate, versus amenities—no mini fridge, no microwave, versus nightly rate— definitely needs a revisit

Least than adequate.

Liked: The bed was comfortable. Cleaning staff was polite.
Disliked: No complimentary breakfast provided for the cost of the room. No refrigerator in the room. It was odd- there were .microwave meals in the kiosk - No microwave in the room.Again no refrigerator and no simple complimentary breakfast was provided. Cheaper hotels provide these amenities.I doubt that I will return
