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.
