Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
The rooms were comfortable and clean. We’ve stayed here before and there was a significant decline in service while the price significantly increased. A few things that were lacking. - Housekeeping is no longer automatic and you must call to request service. - Rooms on the 5th floor are very far from the parking garage. - The hot water in the shower is inconsistent in temperature and pressure. - The checkin/checkout staff were not warm and welcoming. - Cookies are no longer provided at checkin as they use to be. - The toilet paper was thin and extremely rough, definitely not what I’d expect from an expensive hotel. Based on the price we paid, I left feeling disappointed. Unless I get a great deal next time I’m looking, I don’t think I’ll return.
