Well, to sum it up, I won’t be returning to Anselmo
and don’t recommend it. Here are my impressions and photos:

Pros:
  • Upgraded a few days in advance to a larger “Corner 1 Queen or 2 Twins” - ended up having a large king (two twins made up together and a separate twin to the side)
  • Bed was generally comfortable - medium plush mattress, plush pillows (though a bit small), covers weren’t super thick (but fine for lack of AC)
  • WiFi was actually effective

Neutral:
  • Breakfast is “okay” - pastries with dulce de leche and cream cheese spreads were good - but no made to order eggs - only wet and slimy scrambled eggs
  • ”Lounge” is just odd - very small room open from 5 PM to 7 PM with a coffee pot, some cookies in a jar, and some croissants

Cons:
  • No AC at all in the winter - they brought a fan which at least helped with air flow
  • No liquid body wash
  • Shower temperature control was way too sensitive and either scalding hot or freezing cold with a few millimeters of twisting - pressure was only good with the freezing cold water
  • No accessible outlets unless you started unplugging the lamps
  • Slide-in keycards easily de-magnetized by electronics
  • Lack of privacy with view into lobby and event space
  • Would not confirm late checkout until morning of departure - I chose to just leave early
