Not quite what we expected
Paid extra for a loft room. The couch had holes in it. Window was open and wouldn’t close. Table was beat up. Had to walk a distance to the main hotel for amenities.

NYE stay
Coffee supplies in room were not restocked. 2 k cups in room and an opened pack of condiments ie sugar, sweetener, creamer.
No extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom and not sure how the towels are stocked as every hotel is different but only 2 body towels were provided.

Fine - Not Great
We had a loft room which was spacious but oddly set up. There was trash under the bed and food left in the freezer. There was a large group on our floor and in the room next to us that was incredibly loud and the police were called…not the fault of the hotel but it wasn’t resolved until 3am (my first call to the front desk was at 11pm).

The room is huge. But the cleaners dont pay attention to details. We found hair everywhere and had to do our own deep cleaning.
