Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
I must say except for that staff who were all very nice and helpful I was very dissatisfied with the hotel. The main reason is that the whole lobby area was under construction and I was not informed about this before hand. This really annoyed me. Also the room we were given first was very small for 4 people but the front desk did take care of that in the end. And funny enough I overheard in elevators at least 3 other people saying they had to change rooms. The area where the hotel is located was perfect one of the reasons I picked it but for the amount of money paid a night and the fact that it was under construction really annoyed me. If I was at least told then it was my decision to stay there or not.
