uneven experience

faulty heater dismissive staff

the location was acceptable, near many points of interest.

the heating unit in my room did not work. i contacted the front desk, and they told me other rooms had the same issue.. they eventually brought a space heater but that barely helped. upon closer inspection, i noticed imperfections like a blood stain on a chair. the front desk staff did not seem to care when i mentioned the lack of heat upon checkout.

a reasonably pleasant stay

convenient location secure parking cleanliness issue missing coffee

the hotel location was really convenient. numerous and diverse dining places were next door. i found secure parking. the breakfast dining was available next to the lobby.

Some cleanliness was lacking. i found a used condom wrapper on the floor next to the night stand. the coffee packet wasn't provided in the kitchen. The front desk told me i needed to come to the front desk to get it.
