Great service, subpar accommodations

The room we booked was a riverview queen and what we got was a single window full. We were told the hotel was sold out and we only paid for a standard. Not sure what that had to do with the bed size and space. Add to the situation 1 elevator has been out of service the last 2 times weve stayed. The customer service kept us coming back despite the room disappointment but this will most likely be our last stay here.

The lobby and second floor public area were very nice. We had a two bedroom suite that did have two seperate areas for sleeping but only partial walls and no doors. So there was no privacy. There was a capichino machine but I had to outside the hotel for regular coffee. This is a clean basic hotel with good pricing but no extras.

Hotel was clean and as expected for the price. Staff was friendly which makes a difference. Minus one star for the elevator that was out of service, which happens to be the same elevator out of service when I was here last; which was five years ago.
