Horrible room stained old carpeting. View was of the back service area. Rude front desk manager who would not help. Told us to book directly with them next time. Suggested we needed to buy a room directly from them and forfeit our previous reservation.

The room does not correspond to the price, very bad repair condition, the plaster on the walls is crumbling and not painted, the sink is cracked, the bed is scratched and in terrible condition. Very bad soundproofing, I can hear the neighbors what they are doing behind the door.

Not recommending to anyone.
It was overpriced for the real value. Overpriced evening dinner was out of key things until we left. Cocktail in the bar was tiny at best. Valet was understaffed so it was slow and 30$ for outside parking with no loading and unloading is ridiculous.

The room was unacceptable. The toilet was so low that it was about 4 inches lower than my knees. It was built for a 6 year old. The couch was so soft that if you sat down, you could not get back up. The bed was on a large wooden box bringing the mattress up so high that we could not get into the bed. They offered a stepping stool to get into bed, but it took 2 hours to get it as they could not find another one as all the other rooms were using all they had. We have traveled to all 50 states and 5 continents and this was the worst room we have ever seen!! It was clean and had beautiful views, but it was not liveable.
