9/10 Wonderful! (431 reviews)

Did not like that the Refrigerator was being used for a mini bar. Did not like that we had to pay for parking. Did not like that we had to ask for ice. Bed was rock hard. Breakfast was great however the available coffee sucked. We were not aware that we could ask for cappuccino or fresh brewed coffee.

When we went to shower, the tub was backing up with yellow water and floating debris. Since we were already late to our show,we now had to leave without taking a shower .This small studio room was over $600.00 per night ! After complaining to the staff, we were left 2 cocktail vouchers . As it was , I was paying for 3 nights and only staying two. I think they should have done a bit more .
