Average stay. Could have been better

inconsistent cleaning unrestocked minibar

The front desk was indeed helpful enough. They answered my basic questions. no fireworks, but adequate.

The room cleaning schedule seemed quite arbitrary. one day the room wasn't cleaned until late afternoon, and another day, they came by at 9 am. also, the minibar was not restocked daily. I expected a consistent refreshment service and found it lacking.

Satisfactory Stay

varied breakfast helpful staff poor assistance lack of contact

The breakfast was varied. It offered something for everyone. Everything was freshly prepared, and the buffet was quite good. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Nothing seemed too much trouble.

I felt a bit disappointed. The hotel did not help me find another place to stay. My mother had to do it. I was really sick, and I heard nothing from them after I left.
