Cornerstone did not have the room that I had reserved. Said that those rooms were for suites and had been given away already. Left me with no place to sleep as I was going to sleep on the chaise.

Disliked: Amenities
Very depressing ambiance... room was brown and boring. One overhead light and one lamp. Bathroom had many repairs in the works. Needed painting! Towels and linens were very very thin. Coffee pot did not work - I had to manually use a stirrer to dispense the weak coffee. Doubt I would stay there again...
