Staff were very friendly. However a room was very small & they switched after we addressed the situation. Our queen size bed was made by two smaller the twin size mattresses & was splitting a part when we were slipping. No shampoo, no hair conditioners, no body wash until we asked for it. They had big bottle of soap dispenser by the sink & inside the shower and they were more like hair gel than soap. Shower curtain was so short that water would come out on the floor constantly. We paid over $2500 for 7 days & nights for the 3 star hotel when advertisement was for 4 stars. A lot of garbage around the hotel especially at evening time & smelled badly. That was terrible. Never will stay that hotel again.
