Praise example
The room was clean and comfortable.
Complaint example
Rooms are small.

The illustrative guest calls the room pleasant, while also mentioning clear wayfinding and the convenience of taking an elevator upstairs after a show. For the room topic itself, the directly relevant detail is the positive but unspecific description: it conveys approval without identifying particular features, furnishings, dimensions, or conditions behind that impression.

Evidence:

  • Room: percentage: 16.26%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 62.83%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,359
  • Illustrative room comment: Great way finding, pleasant room and how deluxe to just take the elevator upstairs when the show is over!

Friendly staff.
Complaint example
Terrible customer service

The service comment focuses on the front desk’s response during an unspecified situation. The guest describes neither sympathy nor an attempt to help, framing the encounter around emotional acknowledgment and practical assistance. Because the underlying situation and staff perspective are absent, the account illustrates one guest’s wording rather than establishing what occurred beyond that interaction.

Evidence:

  • Service: percentage: 11.42%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 63.36%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,359
  • Illustrative service comment: Front desk showed no sympathy and didn’t even try to help with the situation.

Great location.
Complaint example
Carpets are dirty both in my room and in the common areas.

The location comment uses unusually severe safety language, with the reviewer alleging shootings at the property and describing management as dismissive. This is one guest’s account, not independent confirmation of those allegations. Its wording shows that the reviewer connected their assessment of the location directly to perceived danger at the property and management’s reported response.

Evidence:

  • Location: percentage: 7.12%; reported praise percentage (denominator not supplied): 54.17%; sample reviews analyzed: 10,359
  • Illustrative location comment: I can tell you that the location isn’t unsafe, it is positively dangerous with threat to life shootings occurring at the property, casually brushed off by management as if it was a daily inconvenience.
