Room not what was reserved.
We reserved a King suite. When we checked in nothing was said about the room. When we got to the room and when we got to the room it was a double. When I called the front desk about it I was told we were switched because they didn’t have a king suite even though we reserve one. Again, nothing was said to us when we checked in.

King bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good. Staff member Emily was very helpful. Good location close to East Village. Easy garage parking. No USB charging points in room. No shelves or drawers in bathroom and limited towel rails. Limited storage for clothes etc, in room. Had to point out twice that room thermostat needed replacing. Room door was very difficult to open after being unlocked.

The staff at check in wasn’t very welcoming, and breakfast staff was shutting the doors on guests several minutes prior to breakfast ending, so it didn’t seem as though the staff appreciated their customers. Our room was also not as clean as I’d expect, with popcorn and chunks of food in the corners.

Our shower wouldn’t warm up. They told us someone would come check it out in 30 minutes. We finally got it to get somewhat warm enough to take a quick shower.

Everything was very clean and useable. We had a handicapped shower in our room. When taking a shower, water went everywhere. Not anyone's fault for that. Just a a hassle to clean up after a long day.
