"There is no daily maid service. Towels are replaced on a request basis by leaving the towels in a plastic bag outside the room. No bed making. Disappointing for the price they charge."
"The hotel is very nice but the elevators reeked of death for some reason. Like I had to hold my breath. Also on the elevators, people are vandalizing the pictures drawing inappropriate images and other things. Elevators definitely need an updo."
