6.0

The location is a good attribute of this hotel. Centrally located to most of the activities we had planned, and to several good eating places; all within walking distance (10-30 min. walks). The lobby is well appointed, even while some construction seemed to be going on, and the staff was friendly. The room seemed clean. We loved the "luxury vinyl plank" floors in a dark wood finish...beats many carpeted hotels, at which cleanliness is always a question. Bed was clean and quite comfortable!. We appreciate the "eco consciousness" of not automatically cleaning and replacing towels and bedding every day, and were told to let them know if we wanted a cleaning or fresh towels or linens replaced during our 5-day stay. However, on day 3 as we left at hotel at 8AM and requested trash removal & fresh towels; upon returning at 8PM nothing had been done as requested. I called and described the situation, the unapologetic man at the desk said he would bring up towels. He arrived with towels and trash bags, which he handed me. Me: "Why are you giving me these bags? I'm not going to empty the trash, I'm the guest." The bathroom REALLY needs attention: grout and shower corners really not good. Dirty beyond just a housekeeping situation. Bathroom really tired, needs some, at least mild, renovation! Would be nice to have a beverage and snack machine at least... Would I stay here again? I don't know. Price was decent, location was very good, and overall hotel not bad pre ce. But I would do some considerable comparison before my next trip.
