Pros: Location is pretty ideal to get around the downtown. Bed and pillows we quite comfortable. Rooms and bathrooms are kept clean. But even the towels were old and weathered. 5-stars?
Cons: Toilet was broken in our room when we first checked-in. Took a while to get us moved to another room. Cleaning staff wasn't friendly and were more worried about not being blamed for the mess in the bathroom. There was no fridge to put our leftover wedding cake, when we used the mini bar fridge we were immediately charged even thou we didn't consume anything. The coffee machine was old and barely functional. Calling the front desk felt like I was contacting a credit card call center, was put on hold a few times. Just never felt a 5-star treatment while we stayed. Even the front door man wasn't there too open the door when I brought in my bags. All the little things that made this experience below average.
