Everything was above Satisfactory. One suggestion, safety handles need to be on the shower walls. Shower floors are slippery when wet, nothing to support on or grab in case of slipping or fall.

Oversold and refused to refund.
They oversold the hotel and didn’t have our room, which was a suite. They expected us to downgrade with no refund and when we told them we preferred to stay elsewhere they refused to refund us anything at all. Luckily Hotels.com came through and found us a different place to stay and refunded us themselves.
