Not impressed

Claudia in housekeeping was proactive providing assistance as well as the gentleman named Jaquai. Advertised coffee service in lobby was empty and no offer to address the issue. Refrigerator in room barely kept beverages cold. Shower was very small and no fan in bathroom.

Hotel rooms are a bit tired. Complimentary wine was not ready for us and took till next day to receive after having gone to front desk a second time. Our toilet kept running as well. Staff at times were not super friendly. Seemed a little unprofessional at times. Friends of our staying there as well had issues with towels and water cups etc not being replaced. But, overall it was an average stay. We absolutely loved the location. Had expected a bit more.
