A mostly positive experience

professional staffquick storygreat customer serviceunreliable waterlow pressurecold water
the staff was very professional i ordered food. i didn't know it could not be delivered to my room. staff was very understanding and brought it to me. she was very nice about the situation.
during my weeklong stay, there was no reliable hot water in the shower. the water pressure left much to be desired. i had to bathe in cold or lukewarm water pretty much every day sometimes. sometimes it was just a sponge bath because the water was too cold.

Some Issues During My Stay

weak water pressurepoor soundproofing
The bathroom was not what I expected. The water pressure was weak. It made showering a real chore, honestly. the soundproofing was subpar. I could hear conversations in the hallway and the adjacent rooms. It was far from ideal for a supposedly quiet night. This lack of soundproofing was a real letdown!

Very nice Hospitality and Clean, Spacious Rooms

Ben, the bellhop, gave me a warm welcome. He was helpful, setting a great tone. The room had ample space and was spotlessly clean. The turn-down service ensured my comfort with thoughtful arrangements!!! The entire staff acted friendly and professional. They were pretty good too, genuinely caring about guests.
The hot water pressure was somewhat lacking.
