You get what you paid for and a bit more
Overall, a wonderful stay. Although my only window looked out into a service courtyard it was quiet and I knew that I’d booked a discounted room through Hotels.com and wasn’t going to have the most luxurious room. It was, nevertheless, quiet and comfortable and mostly clean – although there was a torn top of a snack bag on the rug from a previous occupant that should have been vacuumed up prior to my arrival. I was there three days and on the final day the toilet also began running for 5-10 minutes after flushing until its buttons were jiggled several times…but it did eventually work. It was also noticeable that the electrical sockets weren’t very tightly fixed to the wall and started to pull out when removing a plug or plug adapter. The hotel’s website did say that these “deluxe double rooms” hadn’t been fully updated and that may account for the discounted price through Hotels.com. Despite these observations, the location was great, the staff were wonderful, the bed was comfortable, the shower was great, and the vibe was good if not elegant.
