"Overall it was a good stay. Nice hotel, clean and well maintained. Staff were friendly. Only two small complaints. Day I got there a got a text message saying if I needed anything to text. I sent a message the next morning asking for more towels and got a response. That evening we still hadn’t received towels so I went to the front desk. Person there said “Oh I tell guests never to use the text and just come tell us.” Then why have the text system? Other complaint was that the toilet in our room didn’t flush well and almost got clogged several times."
