4/10 Fair

nice ideas, terrible execution
I really wanted to like this hotel and the stay, but things were just really poorly executed. A/C broken; family accessible room means wheelchair accessible and no choice for family other than that. Coffee and tea w/ to go cups but no tops. Order food on an app, but it never comes. All really nice ideas, but just truly poor execution.
