    When I gave them a debt card for incidentals they charged me for the full room price that I had already paid through booking.com. Told me they couldn't fix until the next day. They now claim to have reversed but not back in my account yet

    Location was close to great restaurants. Easy to get to

    The timing for housekeeping. If the ladies could spend 5-7 more minutes I think it be helpful.

    That the ladies up front were able to get us in for an early check-in.

    The lady behind the bar was rude, obnoxious and spent all her time flirting with another customer and ignoring us, other than to lecture my wife about tipping in the USA. The experience was so bad we never went to the bar again in all our time there.

    Perfect location, standard sized room. I have stayed in the hotel before and the room was a carbon copy of previous stay.

    I didn't understand the bill. My card shows that I was charged 143.65 dollars yet on the receipt it says my bill was 113.65 dollars. So why was my card credited more money than I was showed on booking.com

    Clean room, and comfortable bed.

    The lady at the desk seemed more helpful toward male travallers. I had to ask for a tv channel guide and it was not accurate. Also the curtains didn't close all the way so I had light streaming into my room when I was sleeping. I also feel that for the price, there should be some type of breakfast included.

    The bed was comfortable and the room was clean.

    The restaurant staff need classes in customer service. I have free breakfast with my room. I asked the server she argued with me saying I had to take it up w/ the front desk No one was there. Asked to order a beer at 6;30pm they stated they were closed / done serving for the day. No menu or alternative dining choices in the rooms. I also have a dog with me they put me on 4th floor the farthest room from the elevator. Other than that the room was clean, the maintenance workers were very nice & friendly.

    Very close to the Convention Center where my meetings are.

    Breakfast was disappointing. No coffee. Cook said no one ordered and they were out. He was upset because all staff had called in and he was working alone. He was more concerned about coupons tickets than making a peaceful atmosphere.

    I liked the room and bathroom. Beds were clean and crisp. Liked coffee in room. Easy check in .

    Breakfast was terrible. Staff was unconcerned about everything. We were told the hotel had dining options. They did not. we ended up having to walk down the street to some bar. I have to say the bar was much friendlier and the food was good.
