Nice hotel, but not great service for the price. I left a couple of pair of pants and a belt hanging in the closet when I checked out - admittedly my fault. I called the next morning at 8:30 to let them know and to ask them to ship them back to me at my cost. After 2 follow-up calls they say they haven’t found them. It seems like the reasonable explanation is that they threw them out. Also, no two complimentary water bottles in the room as they promised, no do not disturb sign even after asking, one nearly finished roll of toilet paper and no extra, and no email copy of my receipt as they promised at check out
