When you are presenting yoursf as a higher end hotel, act as a higher end hotel. We got to our room and the first thing that caught my eye was the fact that there was nothing special about this room. It looked like any other hotel room. The floors were unfinished sealed concrete. Being in the construction industry that says "We skimped tonsave money". The next thing that got me was pillows with stains on them. 1 ply toilet paper. And the fact that even though i had already paid for the room prior to checking in i was doubled charged.
