"The size of the room was excellent. But if you are a person like me that use a lot of towels this is not the hotel for you. As I was traveling for business and had an evening meeting I couldn’t check in unless I paid an extra $30 and to have a late check out that was another $30. I didn’t like those extra fees at all."
