the keurig coffee maker was located inside a drawer. this placement took up space that could have been used for clothing storage. the room only had one available drawer for clothes, limited.

disappointing housekeepingarrogant eye roll
the housekeeping service was quite disappointing. it is available only upon request and cannot be scheduled if you check in during the afternoon. after i requested housekeeping, i received a message that the room still could not be cleaned. i had the option to order any missing items by phone but i received either incorrect items or too few of them. when i inquired again, i received an arrogant eye roll. this was unacceptable, given the hotel's supposed standards.
