Very happy with my stay overall, but for the prices of the rooms, I would not expect the inconveniences that I put up with: Uneven floors under vynal, key card problems, mirror light needs GFI outlet breaker to operate, no fridge, small storage options, no desk, etc.

The whole room was basically a king sized bed and the thermostat didn't work.

A $700-a-night sweatbox with broken lights, no fridge, no coffee, a door that won’t close, and a fan instead of air conditioning—this dump makes “cozy king” sound like a cruel joke, and I’ll never stay here again.
