    The pump of the toilet kept on making a dripping noise but nothing a tissue couldn't fix and the pressure of the shower was non-existent, luckily there was a bathtub. No lightswith when you entered the room so had to find one on the other side of the pitch black room.

    Great staff, great location. Recommendation for a single traveller.

    Our first room had the smell of dog which was unpleasant and also aggravated my asthma. Perhaps some rooms should be designated pet free The staff were very good and moved us to another room. Albeit exactly the same size. A small upgrade would have been exceptional customer service. Parking was expensive although about the same as everywhere.

    location was great staff were superb

    Everything was good overall

    Under construction, clean rooms. Except for breaskfast is good but once they are out of food they will not put out. Kitchen lady’s don’t work as a team that’s what I was told. Other than that it was good.

    The room had a fragrance that didn't match my liking… Also, I wished they picked up room trash from time to time.

    The room was spacious, and the staff members were all helpful. Their hair conditioner was excellent.

    There was some construction noise that started early in the morning, but they are undergoing remodeling.

    They were remodeling on the floor above us during the day and it was very loud when we came back to our room for a few hours of “rest!”

    Loved the location, breakfast, and suite. Very clean and comfortable.

    Noisy construction in hotel and loud night club next door. Suite needed better cleaning. Lots of scrapes, stains, patches, and dents. Even when the room was ready, staff made me wait for an hour in the lobby during loud construction or pay an extra $50. to check in to my room an hour early. Pool was a small area with no sunlight.

    Great location and nice city view. Comfortable bed and sofa.

    The shower had no pressure. I'm very sensitive but the room has a smell to it.

    Everything was great. The staff was so friendly and answered anything I needed. I appreciated the kosher options at breakfast, that literally made my day. The location was perfect.

    Parking was Valet ONLY, no carts to assist in carrying our belongings, no garbage can or bags in the room, when I asked at the front desk, I was given a black garbage bag. No coffee maker in the room, the extra blanket provided in the room was very rough on the skin. Upon checking in I was asked if I would like housekeeping to come because it was only done upon request, I said yes - beds made, room cleaned and provide new towels, asked at what time, I said after 10 am, as we would leave for a little while. Upon returning at 2:40 pm the room had not been cleaned. In addition, I had requested balloons for my husband's birthday as a surprise and was told it would be done and upon checking in they did not have it done. The front desk young lady did offer to compensate with a bottle of wine and chocolates and it was delivered to the room. However, this was after I had asked what they could do since the original plan was to have the balloons as a surprise. This was a little disappointing. because it was requested weeks in advance. Also, there was no restaurant on site, they offered your typical breakfast options. But a restaurant with bar would have been nice.

    Room size and cleanliness of the room.

    I was slightly disappointed by the breakfast buffet with limited choice. No fruits, no vegetables. The same standard American food each day (eggs, bacon, donuts, white bread, pancake, one type of yogurt). The breakfast room is too small to welcome all hosts during weekends, with the consequence that the least polite of them are eating close to the buffet.

    The room was very large, it’s a suite with bathroom, bed room, kitchen well equipped (even if I didn’t use it) and a corner with sofa and a second TV. The bed was extremely good for me, I have back problems and the bed quality is important for me. Sound insonorisation was very good with no noise entering the room from the windows or walls (a little bit from the entry door). The bathroom was large and well equipped with a shower in the bathtub. The cleanliness was not perfect but good enough when I accessed the room. To note that because it’s an appartement more than a normal room, your bed is not made every day nor the bathroom towels changed. The iron and the table were welcome. I really appreciated the location, 5min walk from the Alamo and city centre. Staff was helpful and always kind.

    The elevators were awful. Took for ever to get it to work with the key cards. Trash cans to small did not have good water pressure for showers. Only one roll of toilet paper in each bathroom for 2 and half days for 5 people. Had to ask and go get myself. Had to ask for sheets, blanket and pillows for the fold out sofa bed. The coffee pot did not work right. it was so slow making coffee. The TVs in the rooms did not work right kept turning off.

    Location. The 2 room st.was spacious.very clean.
