Chateau Hotel

Chateau Hotel

8/10 Good
"Staff was excellent, except they did not know how to print out my boardung passes. cleaningwas ok, but they never swept or mopped the floors, in the room or bathroom, never really cleaned the sinks, you could tell by the faucets always wet spots on them when they left. looked clean but all they really did was make the bed, and left clean towels and empty trash also had not place to hang your close in the bathrooms, no shelves or hangar on the back of the door and no counter space around the sick no coffee in the lobby just in the room, but nor the greatest, would of been nice if they had fresh coffee like most hotels. Air conditioning not the greatest, plus you could not set it yourself., had a desk in the room but no chair kinda of hard putting your shoes on sitting on the bed, plus not could for elders 80 years old and had to carry my luggage up 3 flights of chair. but really no one there to help. and there where really not that many amenities except for your regular bathroom soap, shampoo etc pool was nice and they did supply towesl, but had just 4 lounge chairs, should of had at least 10 and then they had some kind of wicket chairs which were very uncomfortable price was right location was right, but would not stay there again"
