Customer service was great. Free printing and scanning at the oddest of hours was a cut above the rest in meeting customer needs. Friendly and courteous staff. Good meals. Minor suggestion. The square pin socket behind the couch in the room was unreachable but needed. Consider making the couch moveable or making the socket available elsehwere in the room (I forgot to bring an adapter so I couldn't use the round hole sockets

There were multiple things that resulted in the dissatisfaction: - Had multiple issues with the water and bath. Bath water accumulated and was not draining. - No hot water. - Thermostat not working. - Safe not working. The surprising part was the service and attitude of the front office staff. Initially we were asked why we didn’t report the issues sooner instead of after 3 hours post check-in. Also there was no remedy of the issues for around 10 hours until the next morning. The bright spot was the interaction with the staff who came to fix. Real nice, good communication, and thorough in the work. Overall - quite a sub standard quality with many issues. And front office staff as well as breakfast staff is rude and horrible attitude.

The housekeeping ladies are amazing, very friendly and accommodating of requests. They worked long hours but always kept a smile. The room was always cleaned.

Séjour agréable. Dommage que le balcon soit juste en face d'une autoroute, ce qui rend l'option inutile. Aussi, on entend le passage des voitures même les fenêtres closes (J'ai dormi avec des bouchons d'oreilles). Le service est bon et l’accueil très souriant et sympathique. J'avais envoyé un message pour une prise en charge à l'aéroport (via l'appli Hotels.com, mais je n'ai jamais reçu de réponse. Pourtant le rapport qualité prix est avantageux et je retournerai certainement dans cet hôtel propre et confortable.

I booked a golf course facing room on Hotels.com and I was not allocated one. I had to request and move after checking in. The staff are not ready at 6h30 when breakfast starts. On 3 mornings we had to wait for breakfast as various items were not yet ready and laid out. Not acceptable for us as we were under time pressure to get going. And, for a business hotel to not be able to order a poached egg is unacceptable. I have never had that at a hotel before.
