Such sage advice. I average the reviews and comments -- and I hate to say this, but also look at from where the poster comes from as well as their perecieved/asserted status in a hotel program, as some areas are notorious for very demanding residents (my area of course excepted
).
On many occasions the asserted status stated by the poster is likely entirely bogus as they either use the wrong type of "metal" to denote their status -- calling themselves a HHonors Platinum member or a Marriott Diamond member, for example, or they just expect the world because the had signed up and now are a member of a free hotel rewards program.
Thank you very much BigGuy and the rest of you for giving the real deal about this property as I have a scheduled stay there in late July. ^
