These excerpts show the review language behind the measured signal.

Google Maps Praise quote
So my feedback would be: drop the luggage fee and make the fast WiFi default and I would be happy to come back.

Review rating: 4.0

Tripadvisor Complaint quote
For the cost $5500 for three nights for a “suite” which was just two connecting rooms, you’re better off getting a suite at the plaza - you’ll find friendlier staff and a better overall environment than this outdated hotel.

Review rating: 2.0

Tripadvisor Praise quote
The Wi-Fi was strong, the bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was in pristine, recently renovated condition with powerful shower pressure.

Review rating: 5.0
