minimal amenitiesoutdated tv
I found that the in-room amenities were lacking. there were no shower caps or toothbrushes, items i expect at this price point. the tv was also quite old. I would have appreciated an updated entertainment system. this reminded me of a significant oversight for a hotel of this caliber and detracted from the otherwise upscale experience.
