I left I didn’t stay it was that bad, I actually paid double to stay elsewhere.
Pros:

I didn’t like anything about the property.

Cons:

The staff was so rude, starting with front desk Shimani she kept rolling her eyes when the phone would ring and when someone spoke to her. The manager Mr. Hirashmi is very abrupt, no smiles and adding extra fees every after showing him the previous cancellation emails. He said no I don’t want to see it. I had the worst experience ever with the front desk in customer service and the managers there was a manager above the GM and he didn’t help neither.

Pros:

The gentleman at the front desk was very nice and location was good

Cons:

No free breakfast had to pay for it. after spending 400 plus dollars asked for more towels and they were rude as hell and acted like they couldn't give any.only one elevator worked so you had to wait like 15 min just for a ride down or up .

It match my expectations
Pros:

It met my expectations. The only two negative points is that the TV quit working and the phone was not able to reach guest relations. The TV was fixed upon receiving instructions to go through at least seven channels on the remote control, and at that point, the signal was restored.

Cons:

Clean and staffed

Nonexistent
Pros:

Front desk was nice

Cons:

Place seemed dirty. I saw mosquitos inside the reception. I forgot my wallet, I could tab. I couldn’t pay any other way. I had to cancel my reservation. I found another place cheaper because they were also charging me an extra $50 in fees. So, the amount that I had on booking.com was not the same amount as what they were charging me. The gap in my opinion was a lot

Quite suitable and close to everything! Clean. Pet friendly. Will return.
Pros:

Room was very clean, quiet. Was on the first floor so the parking lot was directly out of the window so you won't be super quiet.

Cons:

No black out drapes.

We were not very unhappy, but we will not return.
Cons:

Before we were allowed to check in, two staff members quarreled with each other for about three minutes concerning some future customers before I interjected that "We were now, and we would like to check in!" They were rude and clueless, which was very unusual.
The television didn't work, but eventually they sent someone up to our room to solve the problem. That was a good thing, but perhaps they could havenchecked on the service ahead of time.
