1. We got a tiny room with small window looking to no where, the room smelled old with no air circulation, minibar had food from previous guest, no coffee in the room, loud air condition, when checking out found extra charges on the bill for the minibar that we reported unclean.

2. The double beds seemed more roomy than the king room but the tv was placed parallel to the bed?? There are no coffee makers or refrigerators in the room, but they were very clean and did not yield any smell as some older hotels do.

4. I would have enjoyed my stay better if the person who occupied the room prior to my stay did not smoke in their room, however the hotel did accommodate my compliant and quickly resolved the smell in my room (offered to move me to another room, but the hotel was booked).
