2/10 Poor

Stay somewhere else!

Coffee bar was supposed be open at 6:00 am. Did not open until after 6:30. And instead of offering complimentary coffee like nearly every other hotel in the world, a black coffee was $5.40. Guy at the main desk was unapologetic. Horrible customer service; don’t stay here.
