Coffee supplies in room were not restocked. 2 k cups in room and an opened pack of condiments ie sugar, sweetener, creamer. No extra roll of toilet paper in the bathroom and not sure how the towels are stocked as every hotel is different but only 2 body towels were provided.

Fine - Not Great
We had a loft room which was spacious but oddly set up. There was trash under the bed and food left in the freezer. There was a large group on our floor and in the room next to us that was incredibly loud and the police were called…not the fault of the hotel but it wasn’t resolved until 3am (my first call to the front desk was at 11pm).
