Liked: Cleanliness
Everything would have been great except two of three days we had cold showers as they couldn't figure out the hot water issues, and the place was booked so we couldn't move to a different floor/room with working hot water. No discount or apology, and the front desk seemed annoyed that we were complaining about the problem. Frustrating

Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Room was clean and beds comfortable. Wished there was a coffee maker in the room. Also staff was not helpful. There was a lack of communication as to what amenities were available. For example the shuttle only available Thursday to Saturday but we weren’t told that. No maps of the city unless we asked. We found the hotel unfriendly and unhelpful to tourists
