"Staff and location was great. To allow people of any culture to wear sandals with exposed feet in the dining room is disgusting. Please stop allowing this...it might acceptable in eastern culture but not in US or Europe."

"Breakfast was at the bakery next door. It was continental breakfast. This hotel is directly adjacent to a very busy and noisey passage, that university students use all day long. I counted over a 100 per minute! I requested another room but no chance. Hotel looks like something out of the 1940s. ..."
