There was no water available for the coffee maker, the iron in the hotel room had burnt plastic or something on it, which then transferred to my pants and ruined them, housekeeping kept banging on my door after telling them to please leave me alone and I do not need assistance or my room to be cleaned, even though I had a do not disturb sign on my door, the hotel staff were rude for $400 a night before taxes and fees you would expect better service was absolutely terrible. The only thing good about this hotel is how comfortable the beds are. Everything else is just garbage.

Restaurant/Bar is temporarily closed. It would of been nice if this was mentioned on their website or the Expedia page. There isn't a lot of quality dining options in walking distance so I expected to be able to eat on site.

Booked a room with a king size bed, but was not king size. Room was worn and could hear visitors from other rooms. Website listed a restaurant and bar but found out it wasn’t open due to maintenance and had to make last minute plans for dinner.

Nothing to review, they called at the last moment and cancelled my booking for some stupid reason. I think they overbooked, but obviously no way to prove it. When asked if they'd help in booking me another place because I was already on my way and that is what good hospitality practice dictates, they said they cannot and that's that. It's abhorrent and they should go out of business.
