    "No hot water and the coffee machine didn’t work. Maid service was poor. Other than leaving towels and somewhat making the bed she didn’t restock anything. I personally think there’s a staffing shortage. Our room didn’t get cleaned until after 3 in the afternoon. Will not use this hotel ever again and would not suggest it. Only positive was the bed was comfortable."
