It's labeled a 3-star hotel, but it could use some fixing up. The room was fairly large, but they didn't seem to realize that when furnishing & decorating it, as evidenced by the VERY tiny flat-screen TV (picture those small ones you might see in someone's kitchen). There was A LOT of empty space, which could be nice depending on the guest & the situation, but I thought it could've used a coffee table, a sofa, a lamp, or something. What I'd most like them to fill some space with is a mini-refrigerator and possibly a microwave, especially since the ice bucket they provide is the smallest one I've seen. I was also frustrated by the Internet. According to Hotwire, the hotel requires guests to pay for Internet access, so I arrived under that impression. I was pleasantly surprised when I finally connected my devices to find that it was actually free! However, a couple of hours later, websites briefly stopped loading (as if the router or something was refreshing/rebooting), and then I was redirected back to the Internet access login portal. That's fine, except this time it said access is NOT free, and if I wanted to use the Internet, I'd have to pay $12.95/day! I thought maybe it was only free for the first few hours and then you have to pay (even though it was still working fine, for free, on my phone), so I tried "cheating" by switching over to my other laptop to see if I could get free access on that one. Nope. Both laptops (a MacBook Pro & a rather old Dell Inspiron) were reaching the same Internet access login page that said it was $12.95/day.
