Nothing. Staff did not clean the room while we were out. Had to ask for fresh towels. Got told during check in the pool and hot tube would be down for maintenance pur entire stay. Staff was rude when we returned from the funral because we asked why our room was not cleaned. Will not stay there ever again. - stars

Great Stay!

Rooms were clean, comfortable and quiet. The blackout curtain was the best. Stayed here because I had several appointments and a surgery at Ft. Harrison. Staff was friendly, and the location was perfect.

We had noisy neighbors and the frront desk staff weren’t able to get them to turn their music down - horrible nights sleep and when I talked to the manager in the morning he was not very apologetic. Will never stay there again.
