Bad Disliked: Not safety. Management cover up the fire alarm themselves, then later accuse the client of doing it. It’s unsafe—what if something happens?

Just right for a place... Liked: Close to the venue for a wedding we were attending. Room was just right for a king size bed. Disliked: No elevator but they did have rooms on first floor for those that have difficulties climbing stairs. They were gracious enough to grant an hour earlier check in.
