I know that for my own part, as a consumer who reads reviews while deciding where to eat/sleep/shop/etc, nothing says "STAY AWAY!" like a review from a customer who had a legitimate problem and was attacked for reporting it.
I would give the hotel a chance and ante up some freebies.. my score would go up based on value received.
