We stayed 4 nights and asked for clean towels 3 times and never got them. We went to the office and asked and also asked the person cleaning the rooms. You cant expect guests to use 1 bath towel and 1 hand towel for 4 days. I wont be staying here again.

Rooms were very nice and clean. The included breakfast area was pretty standard, however the staff did not seem to be bothered to refill anything (including coffee). When I informed her the coffee was out she just continued to sit in her back room.

Disliked: Amenities
The rooms were dirty. Tables were sticky. Lack of towels. Lack of daily housekeeping. Breakfast was mediocre at best. For $300 a night, I expected something more. Maybe not 5 star quality but at least 3 stars. And the lighting was terrible. So dark and a bit creepy.
