    "A bit of peeling paint on the ceiling but it was clean where it counts (bathroom, linens etc." source Travelocity

  • Service: Rating of 4.1 out of 5

    "The guest services associate I initially spoke with made it clear that if I was unhappy with the room I ;could take it up with Travel website; and promptly said goodbye. We called for room service twice and ended up having to go to the hotel bar and just order what we wanted from the bar, also terrible to deal with." source Travelocity

    "Great flight & room deal through travelocity." source Travelocity

  • Room: Rating of 4.3 out of 5

    "in an upscale hotel room there should always be a refrigerator." source Orbitz

    "Only complaint was that a check-in we were told that our request for a room with two-beds (which was one specific reason we picked this hotel) was not available. Only after I insisted that this was necessary, was a room with two-beds provided." source Travelocity

    "We were not given our room until 7:00 pm, after arriving at 10:30 am, understanding that check-in is at 3:00 - we expected to get in there much earlier - had to stand in long lines each time we checed to see if room was ready." source Expedia

    "She asked for a new room, but them changed her mind, telling the clerk TWICE not to change her room. We got back from dinner to find they had changed her room, and dumped half her possesions in ""Lost and Found." source Travelocity
