"The hotel room was clean, modern, and nicely decorated, and the staff was accommodating. I asked for a coffee maker, and it was delivered within minutes. The cleaning products had a distinctive scent, but you can ask for a room on the hypoallergenic floor.2019-10-14"
"Our city view room was clean, and the shower worked well. They have an allergy-sensitive floor (19th) if you're sensitive to cleaning products or down pillows.

"The hotel was absolutely wonderful. Enjoy the view and hospitality.2017-07-11"
"Our hotel stay was absolutely awful, starting with the rude check-in clerk who couldn't care less about guests. Our room was dirty, with beer cans and towels all over. We returned to the front desk and were given another room, but the heater and phone didn't work. We returned to the desk yet again, and the clerk acted like we were an inconvenience. She gave us a room right by the elevator. All the hotel clerks acted like they hated their jobs, though the bartenders at Bar Louie were exceptional and sweet. Despite this, find another place to stay.2021-02-26"

Hotel Booking Tips
Beware of non-refundable reservations that could cost you a lot of money if you change or cancel them. +Non-refundable reservations are a gamble that will usually save you less than $10. If you make a $90 non-refundable reservation instead of a $100 refundable booking, you are betting $90 to win $10. Would you do that in Las Vegas? -
Don't assume you can cancel a non-refundable reservation without penalty if you notify the hotel weeks or even months in advance. +Often you cannot because some hotels' profit strategy is to get paid more than once for the same room for the same night. -
Always read cancellation policies carefully before you make a reservation. + When is the latest date and time you can cancel without penalty? - More >
When you make a reservation, you will receive a confirmation email. Take a copy with you to the hotel.
The earlier in the afternoon you check into a hotel, the more likely you will get a room or suite that matches your preferences.
