clean rooms spacious rooms comfort enhancement poor management impersonal service inconvenient request

The rooms were very clean. The rooms were also spacious and featured several enhancements for comfort. The blackout blinds were a GREAT addition. Showers provided a relaxing experience.

The hotel seemed to lack a good manager. This meant there was no personal element. There was just the BARE minimum. Asking for an extra bottle of water felt inconvenient to the staff. My request for a towel at the gym seemed to affront the spa manager.
