10/10 Exceptional

Lady at the front desk was kind and helpful. Went out of her way when we had a problem with a tour bus not showing up. Was able to get an Uber to meet the tour bus somewhere else and did not miss our tour we planned many months in advance.
James, 2-night trip

2/10 Poor

Tv didn’t work. Spa/Bath didn’t work. No hairyer. No hooks to hand towels. One high, hard pillow for me. One low, lumpy pillow for my husband. No blanket, just one thin cover, so we were cold. Bathroom sink was gross. Great location but spend a bit more dollars. and stay elsewhere.
Brett, 1-night trip

Bit noisy from another room through the night a few times. Otherwise convenient to early morning flight.

Edwin, 1-night trip
