I booked a room with two queen beds, but was given a room with two double beds - a significant difference. The room was not well-cleaned when we arrived and was missing wash clothes. When the room was serviced the following day, we were not given new towels or coffee.

The room was very nice. The only issue we had was that we were unable to connect to the Wifi. We had just gotten married earlier in the day and my new bride wanted to post all the pics at the end of the day. Nothing we did could get us connected. I travel for business so for me I look to connect the minute I hit the room. It was disappointing to be sure.

Why haven’t I received an itemized bill from the hotel? I got charged and I don’t understand some of the charges. I never received an itemized bill. This is very poor business.
