The heat in the room didn’t work. I would say that happens but the front desk’s response was: “we get a lot of complaints like this” so they are obviously not on top of fixing it.

The room was clean enough and I like the amenities like the pool, gym, keurig in the room, and the choice of bathroom supplies. There were some updates since I last stayed but they may be more cosmetic. I don’t think the beds were new, they felt old and kind of worn and the outside wasn’t as well kept. I needed something but found out the phone didn’t work and didn’t even have a place to plug in. Kind of unnerving to know that in case of emergency I can’t call the front.
