attentive staff modern room faulty air conditioning sleepless nights

The staff here is attentive. They gave an very nice performance in helping us get oriented with the hotel and the area. The room was modern. It was well appointed.

The air conditioning did not work here. I asked for help numerous times. It did not get resolved before I left. We did not really sleep during the two nights we stayed as it was too hot.

The staff were helpful and accommodating. I received two complimentary bottles of water in my room daily. My room included a walk-in closet. I also appreciated the air conditioning in the hallways, especially after being in the heat.

The spring mattress was not particularly comfortable.
