For a BW Plus we were very disappointed. The mattress was in poor condition. One side was collapsed and my wife had a hard time sleeping on it. The room A/C was extremely noisy and there was no way to program it to provide a low fan speed for the white noise that I like sleeping with. Also, the shower had dispensers for shampoo, conditioner and body wash. the body wash dispenser was empty. Very disappointing given the extremely high cost for the room.

I checked in online and on my messages to the Hotel I stated we would be in very late. We ended up having car problems and didnt check in until Saturday. When we went in to get our room key the attended told us our reservation was canceled. He wanted to charge us an additional room charge of $300.00. I know I paid extra for protection. I need to get a refund for out hotel. Please let me know what you can do. Thanks Stella L Rivera 505-463-6953

Liked the help yourself coffee dispenser near the elevator. Breakfast was ok, nothing special. There should be more outlets to accommodate electronic devices. One day, upon return to the room there was a foul odor in the room - A sewer smell. We opened two doors to clear the air. Management offered to move us. We declined and the odor did not repeat.

Disappointing Room Location

We stayed in 107. Room was depressing with harsh main light and no window with a view. No natural light. Had to keep curtains drawn because we were next to entrance to hotel. I had requested an upper floor when I booked the room online.
