Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
My room was awful...there were no sockets (outlets) at the bedside, and the "bedside lights" were the room lights and could only be controlled on one side? I went to the front desk to ask to move to another room (I had not unpacked any bags etc) and was informed that they have a 1 hr policy and they can do nothing until the next day (I went to the front desk approx 80 minutes after I checked in). This was my second stay at the hotel in 3 months and my last. I would normally dine there and meet my family there (who also dine) but I will not stay there after this trip. I did not want anything extra from them just a functional room.

Only issues I had was no AC (critical for American customers) room was way too hot and noise could be heard from street and adjacent rooms. Also, pillows need changing, they are way too thin and uncomfortable.

Found our new hotel
Just what we needed for an evening to relax and the baby to run around before flying out the following morning. Excellent and fast room service. All the needed convenience were there and for the right price.
