Our bedding was wet. They brought us dry linens at 11:00-11:30 pm.. dropped them off and we had to change the beds ourselves. By 4:30 am we woke up wet again. Something is wrong with the ac or their moisture control. Even our clothes were damp and i should have known by the warped wooden panels on the walls. We had no hot water the first night. A towel looked like someone had wiped with it. Tub wouldn’t drain well. The front staff was SUPER sweet and nice, I’d say that was the only upside to staying there.

Great but for 2 things.

Love the decor and comfort of the room. We stayed four nights and the room was cleaned on the first day. The second day I was working so I had the do-not-disturb sign on. But no one came the following days so the garbage et all was a bit much. Also, I was working on my laptop and the hotel repeatedly canceled my internet, giving me 5-minute time-outs of some sort.
